Comment:

 It changed to kallisti5 because I'm working on the Radeon HD driver :)

 The Radeon driver handles older Radeon cards.  The newer generation
 Radeon HD cards need a new driver. This new Radeon HD driver isn't in the
 Haiku nightly builds at the moment because mode switching is not yet
 complete (so you will just see a blank screen, no video, etc)

 The state of the Radeon HD video driver is close, however for now the
 fallback VESA driver is your only option.

 Radeon HD driver development is *very* active and you can see all the code
 changes to support it by going here:
 http://dev.haiku-os.org/search?q=kallisti5&noquickjump=1&changeset=on

 Hopefully once I have mode switching done Radeon HD will support huge
 displays, multiple monitors, hdmi, etc.
