I barely have one display (laptop) working with KMS.  Once X is
up, trying to switch to a virtual console leaves you with a blank
screen until you reboot.  I have 2 graphics controllers in this
laptop and have to cut one of them out of my xorg.conf in order
for it to work.  This laptop isn't meant to use both graphics
controllers at the same time, so perhaps your configuration
will work much better - I'd be curious to know.
