More trouble with kgicon.o

good evening,
After insmod:ing kgicon, all terminals go pitch black. Cannot
see anything. I'd be greatful for any tips as I can't think
of anything else to try.

I have experimented with the following without any success:

insmod kgicon
insmod kgicon kgicon_width=640 kgicon_height=400 
insmod kgicon kgicon_width=640 kgicon_height=400 kgicon_bpp=1

My graphics board:Elsa Winner 1000Trio/V (2MB)

kernel log is always the same:
