That would be more like the current case (one keyboard serves all VCs), or do you want to change the keyboard->monitor assignment on the fly? If I understood Geert's multihead support right, he assigns a range of VCs to each display = fbidx and input from the keyboard is directed according to the VC used. Changing the assignment keyboard->fbidx by means of yet another hotkey should not be too tough. The whole abstract console stuff isn't in the mainstream kernel yet AFAIK but I'd do that for m68k first anyway.
As to the serial input/monitor output, that looks like the ugly hybrid of serial and console code I hoped to escape by supporting all ADB flavors for Mac :-) Could we make that a secondary goal?

Will help the PPC or Powermac people; I've got no PS/2 mouse port :-)
