Jon,

2.4 kernel supports multiple consoles simulaneously. For example, you can
use a serial console and a VT console.

Specifying kernel startup command line like "consle=tty0
console=ttyS0,115200n8", you can choose which console you will use to get
kernel startup message. Modifying /etc/inittab, you can bind a console with
a specific type.

Basically speaking, I believe both USB and PS/2 will take effect as the
input for VT console, unless you modify kernel or kill USB mouse/keyboard
drivers.

Thanks,
Benjamin

Is it possible to get two consoles running on 2.5.65+?


I have this hardware:
AGP Radeon
PCI Rage128
USB mouse
PS2 mouse
USB keyboard
PS2 keyboard

If I can't get two consoles, how can I separate the
USB mouse/keyboard from controlling the boot console?
