Is this still the case with the 2.6 kernel? Thought of working through these by creating a new XFree86 and using the XFree86 prefbusid patch from.from http://www.ltn.lv/~aivils/ bt still only one vt works at a time. 2. Have tried to assign devices to the different vts but cant seemt to get a way to assign the usb keyboard.All input device modules and usb modules are load in the kernel so dont understand what the issue is.
