Probably because you're on the VESA driver, which can only use whatever resolutions are embedded in your GPU. The `radeon_hd` driver works best, and on those you can scale to a lot more resolutions; I know some users who run at 1440p.

That's not quite true; we have POSIX multiuser already, so you can `useradd`, `chown`, ssh in to other users, etc. The GUI does not support multiuser yet, but that's partially for BeOS compatibility (on 32-bit), and partially because nobody has had any time to work on it (all other platforms.)
- dingdingdang 8y agoThanks for update re. 'radeon_hd' driver - would it work on anything else like internal Intel graphics or does that require hunting for other specialized drivers? As to multi-user without GUI on Haiku, while I can see that this would technically work (and it's nice to know the capacity is there) it also leaves behind the strongest asset of Haiku which I think is the UI.
- waddlesplash 8y agoAs the name suggests, it's for ATI/AMD Radeon HD cards & chipsets :) We do have an intel_extreme driver, but it's not as mature than the radeon_hd driver, mostly because Intel's graphics hardware is a lot more complex to handle than AMD's. It works on most chipsets up to Haswell and then the Atom SoCs, but anything after that (Broadwell and beyond), it's doesn't really. I have a Broadwell device it doesn't work properly on, and was trying to fix it, but haven't really gotten anywhere yet. Patches wanted & accepted...
