Subject: [2.6.39.1] disable framebuffer console

Hello,

I was wondering if there is an easy way to disable the framebuffer
console on 2.6.39.1? This seems to get auto-selected, and I really
don't want it.

Reason: I have to video cards (driven by the radeon driver, in KMS
mode) in my pc, and the machine is setup as a dualseat - two
screens/mice/keyboards, and two X servers running.
Unfortunately when i enable the framebuffer console, any ALT+Fx
keypresses will cause the primary screen to switch to the console, and
not give me
a way back to the X server.

On 2.6.37 (which I still am running now) this is no issue.

Thanks for any pointers,

Kind regards

Jan
