If I remember well, to get a better resolution and/or more colours on a VGA monitor you have to write (or to get somewhere) a proper driver for your ET4000. In fact, the STE resolution (as well as the number of colours simultaneously displayed) depends by the TOS and, consequently, by the room in RAM which is allocated to the screen display (32 KB).
Ideally, in order to get more colours, a driver for your card should build a series of image screens in memory and then display them in sequence with a high refresh rate (something similar was in the older times achieved by Quantum Paint).
If you want to improve the screen resolution I must confess my ignorance about the matter: maybe you have to divert the management of the screen display to your card and then retrieve data from the card itself, but I have no idea about the way you could get that.
