Yes. /dev/tty[0-16] exist. I've had up to 16 tty's active on
the console before, but have dropped back to 12. Now I want to
have 13-16 on the mda monitor.

I tried that, and couldn't find anything at all. ALT-RIGHTARROW
cycles through tty1-12 and back to 1 again. The mono monitor did
display a cursor in the top left corner that turns off when Linux
shuts down though...
Any ideas?
