I have done all 3 of these things and I do get 100x37, but I was able to get 128x48 when I was trying FreeBSD 6.0 beta 4 by running
"vidcontrol MODE_280". Is there a way to accomplish this in 5.4?

Only with a patch. Do it at your own risk:

cd /usr/src
fetch http://www.alpha-tierchen.de/dateien/etc/vesa.patch.bz2
bzip2 -cd vesa.patch.bz2 | patch -p0
cd usr.sbin/vidcontrol
make && make install
cp etc/rc.d/moused /etc/rc.d

build your kernel with

   options  SC_PIXEL_MODE
   options  VESA

and reboot.

   vidcontrol -i mode

will show all available modes. And so on. You know the rest.
