fbset error with KGI-framebuffer

Hi again,

I now have the 600x400 KGI mode working on my Matrox Mill II.
The demos that can run in this mode now work. Those that use
another mode say they cannot switch modes. 
I did an strace on
>fbset -v -fb /dev/fb1 pal

and this is what I got: 
Note the error at
ioctl(3, 0x4601, 0xbffffa60)            = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

What on earth is this? Geert says its to do with the KGICON side of things.
Cheers
Jason
