I have two nVidia cards. XFree86 4.0 does not work at all (just disables
both upon starting), but I have no problem running vgacon on the primary
display and nvvgacon on the secondary (as well as mdacon on a third
video card). XFree86 3.3.6 runs only on the primary, and svgalib
(1.9.*) runs on both PCI cards. I did not try fbdev in a long time, but
looking at the code it seems to me that it does not support a non
primary card.

I use the second keyboard (on the ps/2 mouse port) with a user mode
program I wrote, similar to joy2key. So as far as the kernel is
concerned I have one console, but I actually have two.
