I don't exactly know, but then I put it in a init.d script and it gets
called before login screens come up on all other ttys, so everyone of
them inherits -somehow- tty0's framebuffer mode.

# cd /etc
# cat init.d/fb 
#!/bin/sh
fbset `cat /etc/fb-selected-mode`

# cat fb-selected-mode 
1024x768-90

# ls -la rc*/*fb*
