When I wrote the 2024 code I had problems with PAL modes.  Intermitently
the switch to a PAL mode using iteconfig would blank the screen.  I was
never able to determine why.  This may be what your running into.  Since
doumentation on the 2024 is nil I just gave up.

P.S. it could be a bug that I never managed to find if you want to go looking
for it. :)
