Try mapping the consoles back to the vgafb driver without removing the
ET6000 driver, then hit enter a few times. Notice how the scanline-start
moves every time? Looks like the vgafb console scrolling causes the
problem. If you do "insmod kgicon; con2fbmap 0 1" on the same line, you
won't get the wrap. If you type them with an enter in between, it will
wrap. This register may be set _after_ the driver initializes, in which
case it's not easy to fix, but I haven't looked into it yet.
