Its automatic. As soon as a new display and new keyboard is detected it
creates a VT.

I removed that functionality. Actually I need to add it back once I make 
fbcon modular.

I have to try it again. I haven't played with it in awhile.

Don't use vga console at the same time. Just select the framebuffer
console.

Take_over_console replaces a display driver for a VT. In the case of
having VGA console then loading in the 3dfx and fbcon driver. Thi sis
tricky code tho which I haven't worked out yet.

Yes. You need to add gettys for tty16 to tty32.

Commited. Will test tonight.
