yep, seems completely normal to me:

On 2.4.24, con2fbmap just works fine.
On 2.6.5, 'con2fbmap 6 1' from console 1 says:
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 144x56
and returns my prompt (however, my 2nd monitor stays black).
'con2fbmap 1 1' from console 1 says nothing and 2nd monitor stays black
(prompt doesn't return though, and I can't see what I type).
Then typing 'con2fbmap 1 0' doesn't return my console on fb0, and I have
to login via ssh and reboot my machine (reboot -f, as normal reboot
doesn't work).
If I login via ssh from a cold boot, and then type 'con2fbmap 1 1', it
just returns my prompt, and 2nd screen stays blank (though if I type on
console 1, the screen isn't updated anymore).
However, if I then type 'con2fbmap 1 0' from the ssh session, my console
does switch back to fb0, and suddenly console 1 gets updated with 2
'Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 144x56' messages.
So, I guess this is a kernel issue, and not X.
