The Console will work just fine. The BIOS will initialize whichever is 
connected. You may have issues in X if you have specified a CRT in your 
Device config (Necessary on some cards to get X to work with a CRT 
connected to teh DVI-I via a DVI-VGA adaptor), but that can be resolved 
by removing the offending line.

In fact Console will even work with the TV-out, which X won't.
