I'm running Mint (kgmd) and Naes 1.2.0/thing 1.26 on a TT (so maybe this is 
not the same) but i have a Nova GFX card and the main console runs trough the
nova but the vcons run (like a direct blitter function) on my TT's VGA port
this is quite nice, since i run 2 monitors now, and i was wondering if the 
console switch (from console to vcons in screen function) was something i 
can shutdown. this because i still loose the vconsole when i switch back to
the main console. 

DC: in reaction: on TT the vcons don't work on the gfx card, not at first
anyway. the resolution is fairly low, but it's a standard terminal (vt52 ?)
screen, so that would be 80 colums and 40 lines.

thanks
