I just upgraded from 2.6.7 to 2.6.9-rc3 and the fbcon=map:... option
stopped working.

My system has two matrox cards with /dev/fb1 being the head I want to use.
So I boot with fbcon=map:111111. With 2.6.9-rc3 all I could see was
some garbage and I had to log in via network to run con2fb manually. I
don't have a monitor attached to the other card so I'm not sure if the
output went there.

I seem to recall some patches from Tony regarding fbcon options. Were
those applied to 2.6.9-rc3?
No, it's still in the mm tree.  It won't get into mainline until 2.6.10, I think.
2.6.9-rc4-mm1 fixed the issue for me. Sorry for the noise :)
