Right so, I thought that because of the new login style I already had a 
"console".

if I run

console -d vga -d pc_mouse --repeat=mouse -d pc_kbd --repeat=kbd -d 
generic_speaker -c /dev/vcs


as root, the console goes crazy and keeps just spittin out characters, if I hit 
a key it gets repeated ad libitum.
