  This error usually indicates that a display of the requested resolution is
not available (there isn't a provision for the routine that selects the
appropriate display mode to return the reason the request failed, so an
error allways returns ENOMEM).

  You are getting this error because the kernel only supports a depth
of 2 for the A2024.

  You must have different sources than I do:  I get 276 lines containing
A2024 or A2024 in usr/src/sys/arch/amiga/dev.
