It seems a shame that there are so many different ways of setting the 
modes or resolutions. I have been using FreeBSD for 20 years and I don't 
even really understand how we should be doing this.

I understand that vt is new but we should be presenting a single way of 
configuring it correctly to our new users. Currently it leads to 
confusion and inconsistency.
