Maybe change info->currcon to info->lastcon? Or does the API already give us the info we need? I apologize in advance for not looking into this myself.

My understanding is that can break multihead. That is not the only thing broken for multihead support. The softback code is severly broken. Also why don't we use the display_fg field in fb_info instead. display_fg->vc_num is already their is it's more multihead friendly. IMO real multihead support shoudl wait until 2.5.X since it needs a pretty big cleanup. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
