The problem has to do with VT's and X's input system. There were some threads on dri-devel, xorg, and LKML a few months back (I think started by Jon Smirl) about this. There are several patches floating around to enable this functionality. I'm not sure when an official version will hit any offical trees. I think the details are still being sorted out. I'd like to see this kind of support as well.
