You should be able to fire up two video cards were one them can not
be mapped to the vga registers -- your mileage will vary here pending
upon the vga card implementation for instance the old matrox millenium
had a feature to disable the vga register mapping .
Can speak much about syscons I would just ignore if I had two
X servers however if you are planning a dual console system
I don't know if it will work your best is to ask Soren who is
the original author of syscon.
The mouse stuff shouldn't be too much of a problem from the X server
perspective it thinks that it is talking to a serial device.
