I tried AROS m68k in e-uae-0.8.29.w4_5 and uae-0.8.29_1 and it will only show a black screen with 2M chip + 1M fast. In all combinations of 68000/68060, ECS, AGA, A500, A1200 etc.. While both kickstart 1.3 (512k) and 3.5 (512k) works without any problems.


While it won't work in EUAE, if you did find a combination that worked, the most likely ones would require graphics card emulation.  It is that way because the AGA-specific drivers don't work very well since they are incomplete.  Currently Toni Wilen, the WinUAE author and Kickstart bounty #2 programmer, is working on implementing automatic screen switching for the chipset modes and RTG modes to share a window.

I think the biggest problem isn't the chunky-to-planar support being required for all graphics, although that is a big problem.  I think the biggest problem is that GCC 4.5.1 has a terrible 68k backend which makes the code run terribly slow.
