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.
