Firstly try to single step your autoexec - when booting press F8 and then process the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files line by line.
Where the crash occurs?

FD Display is a TSR, not a device driver, and needs a lot of UMB free to "loadhigh" even if it doesn't use it all, so first make sure you have enough (I doubt it, though, 64k or such IIRC). Also try without "LH" and/or with FDAPM loaded after and/or make sure DISPLAY.EXE isn't UPX'd / compressed.

EDIT: Honestly, if it were me, I would remove everything loaded before it and try loading those after it and see if that helps. (You have so much loaded that obviously I'd be hugely surprised if something didn't crash!)

EDIT #2: I forget exactly, but I think FD Display will try using XMS if it can, which implies JEMMEX. Try removing "X=TEST" (which isn't 100% guaranteed, I think) and "PGE" since you don't need that. When things go wrong, you have to play it safe until you know why.

Does PGE matter? What happens if PGE is NOT set?

I didn't get a crash in FD with PGE enabled and Display.exe. Since this option isn't important, the best workaround is to remove it from Jemm's command line. You can try to set it dynamically from the command prompt once AUTOEXEC.BAT has been run, and I'd be very surprised if it crashes then as well.
