	... Let's say I'm not debugging an X server :-)

	As I said earlier, my prior concern is not toasting my 19" monitor
	(it's a fixed frequency) in the time between bootup and the start
	of the X server.  I'd gladly use a serial console, but:

	1) From what keyboard does the X take its input once I've
	   started X from the serial console?

	2) How do I keep my undisciplined VGA (Diamond 968) from sending
	   a signal to the monitor until I tell it to? :-)

	I had in mind changing the address on the card (don't ask me how!)
	and keeping a standard VGA 14" on the other adapter.
