If the only thing you want to do is 'tail -f' then the best solution is to get the mda driver. It is available as a module. Works for me for a long time with both mda card and hercules card. This is a line from my rc.local:
/usr/bin/tail -n 1 -f /var/adm/syslog /var/adm/debug /var/adm/other \ /var/adm/ftpd/xferlog /var/adm/messages >& /dev/mono &
This coexist peacefully with XFree running on SVGA card.
Dualmon you've mentioned is a console driver (not just character device driver, like mda). It was broken some time ago by newer kernels.
