Have you tried to use 4bit text console resolutions bigger than 640x480
with Spectrum? At least they are _not_ working correctly for me with my
PicassoIV.

I would like to know if anyone have been able to use PicassoIV in 4bit
text console mode that has resolution over 640x480 pixels.

Also I would like to know if anyone with any graphicscard is using bigger
resolutions than 640x480 for text console succesfully. That way I could
compare those drivers and possible find out what is wrong with grf_cl.c.

BTW, CyberVision graphicscard drivers have checking enabled that user is
not changing resolution with grfconfig while X is running. grl_cl.c
drivers should also have same safeguard installed.
