So you're using the text terminals at the console. I don't know how you address the terminal at <ctrl><alt><F1> or the one at <ctrl><alt><F2>. If it is with the device as in /dev/tty1 and /dev/tty2 then you should make that configurable. If you type the command `tty` in a text terminal, you get the devicename. You can do so in an xterm (or any other terminal emulator, including telnet and stuff) and you do get the connected tty name. Now configure your software to use that device instead of /dev/tty1 or /dev/tty2 As far as I know, vnc cannot fetch the info at the console devices. I'm sure you cannot use the key sequence trough vnc to switch the text terminal at the console. There might be a tool to control the display of the tty from the software. This is a verry propriaty tool for your OS. If you like to see your software running trough vnc, you best open 2 xterms (or more as needed) and use the connected tty devices.
