My i386 says at boot time:

vga0 at pci1 dev 0 function 0: vendor 0x10de product 0x0028 (rev. 0x11)
wsdisplay0 at vga0 (kbdmux ignored): console (80x25, vt100 emulation)

Sure.

Integration between X and wscons is considered suboptimal on i386 due to
historic reasons. X would not have to scan the whole PCI bus to find the
vga card.
