Kazu mentioned that he has working code, so let's look at that first. Support for the USB devices: I guess that I noticed, because I had to comment it out. And yes they have multiple console support. but if you can remember I put up a discussion on hackers about this and the general consensus was that multiple consoles is a bit silly, one because of cheap hardware and second because of the fact that more than one video card in a system seems to be less than straightforward, allthough it has been done. But why not have support for multiple consoles? I do not see why not. And which stack to use, I ahve no idea what the console stack on NetBSD looks like, so if you rip it out you might run into more trouble than a complete new stack would give you. So, Kazu, our star, shine some light on us.
