Hatari should use the same same strategy for Falcon extended video

What's the point of this support?

The point would be to support extended video modes without additional software. From the user point of view, I see Hatari's Extended VDI screen support as a great feature, and I wonder why it is only available in ST mode.

Also (before your patch) when enabling an extended VDI screen with Falcon hardware, EmuTOS display was wrong. For the newcomer, it suggests that EmuTOS is buggy, and this is not acceptable. Fortunately, everything should work well with your patch.

However, Falcon's Videl&  TOS v4 support larger resolutions than
ST/STE and their TOS versions.  "Videl Inside" v1.2 settings utility
lists 1664x592 as the largest resolution supported on RGB/TV monitor
for 1, 16 and 256 colors (with interlace).

I don't know "Videl Inside" (and Falcon stuff in general).
Is it supported by Hatari?

Videl Inside 1664x592 16-color mode works fine with TOS v4.x,
why it doesn't work with latest EmuTOS?

Good question, this should be investigated.
