I'm completely guessing here, but if you've got VRAM don't you want 0K
Video DRAM configured?

If not, then the way I solved it (but remember an A7000+ has NO VRAM) was
to increase the Video DRAM allocation.  I think you need at least 784k,
because the error message that I managed to trap suggests that it is
trying to mmap() at least this much.

Hope this helps - apologies if I'm wrong ;-)
