The standard modes worked using the aurora vram space. The higher resolution 512x384 didn't seem to work. Then I tried with a 68020 mode and was recognized as super gold card but again it didn't work. It didn't switch to another resolution. Maybe I missed something and I'll try again to find a solution when I find some time. That Minerva trick is promising.
Thanks for the info.

Was there a special smsq/e version for aurora that was different from the one I try with that supported the high resolutions ?

Not as far as I know.
Marcel did the Aurora driver, and I am not sure if he supported the 'odd' resolutions like 1024x960 or 512x480 but as far as I remember, 512x384 should work. Does 512x384 work in mode 4? Q68 and QUIMSI use the same driver and implement aurora compatible 256 color modes, but I think it only supports 1024x768 256 colors...

What is a "QUIMSI" ?

But at least phonetically correct
