Does the 'xmio' specify color depth? If so, that may be the problem. The
current code only supports 8bits/pixel color-mapped modes.

I just got more information on the graphics chip from one of the guys
on the fbdev mailing list. That should help fixing mode setup on the
have 800x600 and 1024x768 working here, except that strange things
happen on the last line of the console. Probably something broken in
the scrolling code or accelerator. I will post a newer patch as soon
as I have something working.
