Put "vga=ask" in your /etc/lilo.conf run "/sbin/lilo" and you will be
given a choice of resolution on boot.
To add consoles, in /etc/inittab add additional entries to section -
# /sbin/getty invocations for the runlevels.
To start X sessions above tty7, from the command line you could start
them with -
$ startx -- :8
as an example.
