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.
