it's 'set console <tc option number>'... so if you have a framebuffer in
slot 2, 'set console 2'.

I just added a head to my /200 this past weekend, and went through this
little dance.  Having a 1280x1024 17" trinitron after my interlaced
1088x864 14" is like a breath of fresh air.  (I just wish it had more
bits per pixel, although the trippiness-factor of a color-cycling
xscreensaver almost makes the loss of color depth worth it.)
