At present only fbdev is mapped to the console and the rest have to mapped 
by con2fb. That should work. I really didn't want to push forcing all the 
framebuffers to a console because it is a very common setup to have one 
framebuffer used for graphics developement and the other for a console. 
We used that alot at my job at Transvirtual. I still use this setup from 
time to time.

Links ??? the web browser. I tried that option and it complained.

> o X11

Ug. I haven't figured that one out yet. I need to make fbcon fully restore 
the hardware state for each card.

There are two versions of links.  
v0.99.x	The amazing text browser.
2.1.x	Does graphics, javascript, etc in console mode.

I configured links-2.x with:
/configure  --prefix=/usr --enable-graphics --enable-javascript --with-ssl=/usr/lib
