So...these are three different machines?

3 out of 14 on which Rawhide is currently installed (test machines total 20+) here, among which are represented various flavors of MGA (400 & 550), SiS (Z7/Z9 XG20 core), Intel (810, 815, 845, 865, 915, 945, 965, 3100, 4100), ATI (rv200, rv250, rv370, rv380, rv516) & NVidia for video.

I'm curious: why are you passing video= parameters on each one? Do
any/all of them work if you don't pass that parameter?

Most of my test machines get used most of the time with a '21"' CRT with preferred mode 1600x1200 reported as preferred mode 1280x1024 used at approximately 175% of normal viewing distance. Avoiding eyestrain requires 1152x864 or lower on the vttys unless I want to monkey with terminal font reconfiguration from default.

My second most used test machine display is a 19" LCD TV with native mode 1440x900 that reports preferred 1280x1024 but supports 4:3 modes up to 1792x1344. It is used at similar distance, so also needs 1024x768 on the vttys for the same reason as the CRT.

I also have 2 15" 1024x768, 17" & 19" 1280x1024 and 20" 1600x1200 LCD puter displays, 2 31.5" TVs, and an abundance of other CRTs to use as test conditions require, in addition to the LCDs used for my 24/7 systems that can be briefly pressed into test service when necessary.
