Here's another wierd thing. I could only get the Voodoo3 to work with
wscons=NO. With wscons configured, XFree86 would get confused and pull
in some settings from the built-in SiS 530, and some from the Voodoo3.
I would have liked to get another keyboard and put the text console on
another monitor, but I guess it won't do that.
