It works also in STE and TT mode.

Another option is to disable VDI mode completely for Falcon,
as TOS 4.x supports only 32kB modes.
Could you provide a very large 16-color Falcon bootup video mode number
so that I could test the usability of NVRAM thing better?
(As long as it doesn't provide any advantage over normal Videl
with TOS v4.x, I don't see much point in it for Falcon.)

Sure, I did that test with Hatari.
Possibly it would allow even larger resolutions if one would
update its config.

I'll mail emutos-devel.
