With the current system yes. But with the 2.3.x patch I developeed no. The
console switching stuff was all moved out of the drivers into fbcon.c. I
have plans to move that up and out of the console code. Also with the
new system fbdev does not allow VC switching when you open("/dev/fb").
Only for fbcon.
