Using kbd/fb/mouse with tty console?

[Ken Mandelberg]

We use a serial port (ttya) for the console on our Sun 4, but would like
to run X on the unused bitmap display/kbd/mouse.

Unfortunately, it looks as if when autoconfing notices that ttya is the
console, it never initializes the kbd/mouse, so the X server cannot open
them.

I presume the issue is the same for sunview.

Is there any way around this?

This is on SunOS 4.0
