If you set up to have the (only) X session running on the WinTV card, then all the normal
console sesions should still be there on your monitor conected to you graphics card.

It's theoreticly possible to run more than 1 X session (I do this on machines at work), so I
plan on setting up 2 C sessions, one on the promary graphics card, and a 2nd on the PVR-350's
frame buffer.
