Oh, then you just have to force it.

Indeed, the VESA driver is there, but you must force it by adding the config 
file.
And it doesn't support mode changes.

Are you sure it's PE and not Dano?

This is because it doesn't have any driver that supports the  
emulated hardware, so it just switches to 16 color VGA and draws  
from an 8bit framebuffer to the VGA bank with a grey palette.


I thought the Cirrus card could be supported but it probably doesn't  
emulate a matching chip.


It might be possible to try extra drivers from http://bebits.com/browse/23
though it'd be better to have a working setup from the official image.

Later versions and Haiku use VESA though, so are unaffected and  
should work with -vga std.


Hmm, I have BeOS 5 PE working with qemu -hda ... (i.e., default VGA  
options).

And I'm pretty sure I didn't install special drivers.

/boot/home/config/settings/kernel/drivers/vesa has:

mode 800 600 16

I thought the Cirrus card could be supported but it probably doesn't emulate a
