Adding screen resolution, framebuffer

The only file I find there is the kernel one, I created a file called vesa according to this:

VESA file fixing boot problem

I would like to point out that I have seen a number of different machines (different CPUs and brand names) booting to a blank screen with Haiku. And all of them have been fixed by adding a VESA file to: /boot/home/config/settings/kernel/drivers/vesa I create a text file using the text editor containing the line ‘mode 640 480 32’, and a important detail that I just discovered today while setting up a multi-boot is that you MUST hit enter/newline after typing the above, otherwise it still will n…

It didn’t do anything, neither on the bootloader nor in the preferences->screen

If it says “framebuffer” (not VESA), you are using UEFI mode. In this case you may be able to change the resolution only from the settings file (in home/config/settings/system somewhere, I don’t remember exactly where it is, sorry). Unfortunately with EFI it is not possible to change the resolution after booting, and our screen preferences don’t work in this case yet.
