This indicates a not-quite-VGA-compatible card. I get the same problem 
when I run the VGA KGi driver under BOCHS.

AFAIK you can safely comment out the range between (inclusive):

        temp1 = io_in8(FCTRLr);
and
        io_out8(temp1, (IS_MONO_IO ? FCTRLwm : FCTRLwc));

Please check if that works. If it does, we should make that check optional.

> kgicon.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

Check /var/log/messages, please. That might be the kernel holding the VGA 
ports. Most drivers have been "fixed" to ignore this error, though I 
don't know about ET6000.

CU, Andy
