The virtual terminal is the device that interacts with the physical terminal through console drivers. On these systems, at least one console driver is loaded. In other configurations, additional console drivers may be enabled, such as the framebuffer console. If more than 1 console driver is enabled, setting this to 'y' will allow you to select the console driver that will serve as the backend for the virtual terminals.

See Documentation/driver-api/console.rst for more information. For framebuffer console users, please refer to Documentation/fb/fbcon.rst.
