The VBE 3 spec. does make some allotment for dual card systems.  It allows
for relocation of the video BIOS and the second card would act as a slave to
the primary card.  So in theory, two video cards should be able to be
supported via vgacon.  The question is, how many cards actually support VBE
3?
