Changing graphics card used for Virtual Terminal

I currently have two Nvidia graphics cards (I'm using the official proprietary drivers in the arch repos) in my machine.

Recently I needed to switch to using the other card for desktop graphics. I managed to persuade X to use the other card by modifying ``/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf``so that  ``BusID`` was explicitly set (to the other graphics card's BusID) in the ``Device`` section and restarting X.

However I've noticed that the Virtual terminals are still trying to use the graphics card that was being used on first boot. Is anyone aware of a way of forcing the other card to be used without rebooting (I can't reboot right now due to others being logged into my machine that are using it)?
