Comment (by ttcoder):

 > I am getting 640 x 400

 The devs will confirm/inform, but IIRC the native Radeon driver is in beta
 and not part of Haiku builds, even in recent nightlies.

 From the syslog, it seems Haiku falls back to the VESA driver and 1400x800
 resolution, and repeatedly fails (?) at it with this message, oddly sent a
 ton of times to the syslog:

 {{{
 KERN: vesa: vbe_get_mode_info(326): vm86 failed
 1632    KERN: vesa: vesa_set_display_mode(): cannot get mode info
 }}}

 Not sure if I'm  interpreting correctly.

 Recent Haiku nightlies (see Webpositive/Bookmarks) might improve VESA,
 there's been several commits in the last few months.

 > and no sound

 There's no sign of activity for "ati HD audio" in the syslog, but the HDA
 driver seems good, apart from an early initialization warning/error.. Are
 you speakers connected to the HDA jack or to the ati radeon audio jack?
 Does the HDA audio show up in the Media panel ?
