Hi, recently upgraded my machine with a XVR-100 card, which uses radeonfb. The system has an onboard machfb and I'm using a USB keyboard and mouse. I noticed the mouse and keyboard get assigned to wsdisplay0, which is always machfb unless the driver is disabled in the kernel configuration. So I can't use the keyboard until X is started, which is... annoying. Is there any way to get wscons to play nicely with the extra framebuffer without recompiling the kernel? (I have no problem recompiling the kernel, just always like to learn more.)
