As there should be. A trap E is a generic error. Any piece of code that
incorrectly attempts to access memory it does not own will generate a trap
E. You need to search for messages relating to VDM failures.

Right. IBM shipped the MCP code without integrating the fix for the "trap
E on redial" defect.

That I would agree with.

Yep. Eventually you will have to decide if the problem is video related
or something wrong in the VDM subsystem. Have you tested yet with just
straight VGA? If so, how?
