   Thank you for the response, but I'm still not sure what to do. I press   
   spacebar during boot and enter the boot menu, but I'm not presented with   
   any means of changing the resolution only different fail safe options.   
   I've chosen "use fail safe" and "continue boot". BeOS informs me that   
   some non-vital processes has been disabled, but then I can't figure out   
   what to do... How do I select the vesa mode driver once I'm into the   
   desktop?
