Hello.
I have two video card on my PC. Linux uses PCI Card as console by default.
How can I force it to use AGP card?
I haven't BIOS capability of selecting first video card.
Thanks, Alex V.B.

If you need vgacon, you can't, unless you have the BIOS capability.
If you enable the framebuffer and the framebuffer console, you can select
which driver/hardware pair gets mapped to the console using the boot option:
fbcon=map:n (0 for the first framebuffer, 1 for the 2nd, etc as they would
appear in /proc/fb)
