You actually mean 2 stop bits. (There is _always_ one stop bit).
I read your first mail, but couldn't really grasp the details of your

Are you trying to direct console _output_ to ttyS2 and the VGA card, yet
still accept input from the PS/2 keyboard? And then when you try to set
this up, you get garbled characters via ttyS2?
