You are faster then me this time. I didn't test it yet. I will get some
time soon and test all of it.
I don't think I disable the console driver at all, but I will check
again. (:<

The buttons never really work before and if you look into the archive, I
strongly suggested to disable them anyway as they were really using a
lots of resources. top should 1.0 to 1.25 idle with the button enable
