Re: Re: mode setting and console locking, nvidia failure

I'll on vanilla 2.6 bk so I'll get the patch a try.

This is another theory I had but it doesn't seem to be true....

My new theory is that when I reset the secondary card it left two active VGA
devices. Then when I VT swap vgacon writes to the primary one but it is really
setting the registers to both cards. 

But I have some data against this theory.
1) I compiled vgacon out, compiled fbcon in. problem still happens
2) If it both VGAs were active, why can I switch from X to console and back to X
and still have fbset from xterm work?  The two VT switches would have caused the
primary card's VGA setting to get written into the secondary card.

After I reset the secondary card I can look at VGA bus routing using lspci and
see that VGA is still routed to my primary card and only a single VGA routing is
enabled.
