It depends on how much the graphics hardware depends on the BIOS.

Which means that the ET6000 has to be the first card initializied in your
system. VESA always maps to this. The i810e will have to be your secondary
card. Look in your BIOS to see if their is a option to select which card
gets booted first (AGP or PCI). Make sure the PCI is booted first. You
have to do a few tricks with con2fb or use the map setup option to get the
right VCs maps to the right framebuffer devices, but that is the easy
part.

It would be nice to have a ET6000 driver :-) I never found docs for this
card tho :-/
