With the current tree you can't get around this. With the work we have
been doing you can :-) This makes sense especially on handheld device
which lack a keyboard but still has a visible display. So with the tree we
have it is possible to
1) Use a regular keyboard without a VT. This is what you want to do. The
device you want to use to do this /dev/input/eventX. One of them will
be your keyboard.
2) Framebuffer without keyboard/VT. Common case for emebedded devices.
Same thing, you use /dev/fb directly without having to have a VT
console. A VT console makes no since without a keyboard.
