VESA Driver or NVIDIA Driver on Consoles, possible?

I was reading on the manual page for vidcontrol and began wondering if I can configure my system: 5.2.1-RELEASE-p8 FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p8 #1: Sun Jun 27 16:46:47 JST 2004 i386 Video Card: GeForce NVIDIA FX-5500 Can I utilize its vesa driver or maybe my NVIDIA driver on my consoles.

I have invoked "vidcontrol -i adapter" in a console and below is the result:
fb0:
    vga0, type:VESA VGA (5), flags:0x700ff
    initial mode:24, current mode:24, BIOS mode:3
    frame buffer window:0xb8000, buffer size:0x8000
    window size:0x8000, origin:0x0
    display start address (0, 0), scan line width:80
    reserved:0x0

I have invoked "vidcontrol -i mode" in a console and below is the result: mode# flags type size font window linear buffer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <snip> . . . 276 (0x114) 0x0000000f G 800x600x16 1 8x16 0xa0000 64k 64k 0xd0000000 131072k 277 (0x115) 0x0000000f G 800x600x32 1 8x16 0xa0000 64k 64k 0xd0000000 131072k 279 (0x117) 0x0000000f G 1024x768x16 1 8x16 0xa0000 64k 64k 0xd0000000 131072k 280 (0x118) 0x0000000f G 1024x768x32 1 8x16 0xa0000 64k 64k 0xd0000000 131072k 282 (0x11a) 0x0000000f G 1280x1024x16 1 8x16 0xa0000 64k 64k 0xd0000000 131072k 283 (0x11b) 0x0000000f G 1280x1024x32 1 8x16 0xa0000 64k 64k 0xd0000000 131072k . . . <snip>

Does this mean I can set my consoles to which ever settings above? If it is possible, how can I go about it? Any advice, hints, or whatever response will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance...
