First of all, you have to boot the kernel with a second video= paramater for the internal video (offb may pick it up automatically, don't know). There are 2 possibilities: Either also add something like video=map:000111 as a kernel parameter. Meaning: ^^^ First three virtual consoles on first monitor (fb0) ^^^ The remaing three on the second one (fb1) I hope you get the idea... Or, you can change the mapping between consoles and fbs with a script called fb2conmap or similar. It's in the Debian fbset package, let's hope it's also in LinuxPPC...
