Would be nice to get support for multiple monitors along with more monitor resolutions. I don’t want to create a ticket but what exactly does the development team need to implement this ?
The monitor resolutions are either from VESA or native graphics driver.
You likely are using VESA for graphics (like most of us) and this is limited to your video BIOS resolutions. Some vBIOSes offer lots of resolutions and others give very few to use. VESA driver cannot be extended to give more resolutions than what your video BIOS lists as supported! Writing drivers is not important right now since it takes time away from developing the OS itself.
Developers are aware that some would like to use multiple monitors but not a priority right now. I believe you can get two monitors working by using a video card with dual outputs and supported by graphics driver (I think this works with Nvidia GF7950 & older cards).

have a card hd5xxxx series support dual monitors. Not seen in haiku. although both monitors output the same thing.
I will check into the vesa implementation on the amd support site. could be some info there.
Wasn’t sure how haiku was handling screen resolutions.
Will find out on that one to
Thanx for the feedback.
