2.6.0+ruby works better, but not yet perfect.

It boots with fbcon without crashing now.
I haven't yet succeeded in running two xservers or
switch between X and console yet though.  

I don't yet know wether it is configuration problems
or something else. Starting X on vt17 (the other keyboard)
just goes into D-state. openvt on vt17 also fails.

So far I have succeeded starting up in single-user mode
with framebuffer and fbcon compiled in.  I can then
use openvt and switch between several framebuffer consoles
on /dev/fb0.  

/dev/fb1 works, (I can cat a file into it and get something displayed)
but there don't seem to be a console running there.  The
second keyboard doesn't seem to go anywhere.  It can be used
for sysrq sequences and nothing else.

X runs fine using vt7 and the mga driver.  Framebuffer X fails, probably
because of vt17 trouble.
