I did that - and it worked!
It took some time getting to this point due to some raid-1 trouble.
2.6.0+ruby with modular fbcon came up with two working framebuffer
consoles.  Two simultaneous xservers, one on each console,
works fine.

There are some small issues still - switching from X
to fbcon on one keyboard also takes the other screen out of
graphichs mode.  So the fbcons are only useable when not
running X - but that is the time I need them most.
