I think something is wrong, unless you have one of the newer distro's. At bootup when you see "Loading...." press the spacebar and chose safemode.
Or read this here for "Alt-Control-Shift-F12: This key combination will automatically revert your screen settings to the default 640x480 at 60.1Hz settings. It even works if you aren't in Screen at the time!" http://www.beatjapan.org/mirror/www.be.com/users/iconworld/icon20.html
I used google and searched for beos screen resolution.

Press
Alt-Control-Shift-F12

The split 4 screens is the problem I have with my BookPC that has a TridentBlade 3D MVP4 video chipset. I believe (don't take my word as hard fact) the problem is the OS is trying to use a driver that is not completely compatable with the chipset. No matter what the resolution, it still will not display properly.
