I am not absolutely sure, but I don't think vga=10 gives you a real
framebuffer. It just changes the font, which may result in more
characters on your display. If your monitor has an on-screen menu you
should be able to verify that.
vga=771 (and similar values) on the other hand really switches display
resolution (and color depth) and is most certainly what you want. A
virtual terminal in 1024x768 pixels looks really nice. I recommend
installing console-terminus as well.
