ok, I hate to say this, but I think you should run linuxbios without the vga stuff, boot linux, and run that vgabios under testbios and see if that is better. This will let you know if the vgabios is doing something really weird.
If you have the space. Try X >= 4.3 as well and use: option "InitPrimary" "true" in the Screens section. It's my experience that on some cards X will bring the card to life when testbios won't.
We should definitely merge our x86emu efforts with those of X.org. I talked about that with Egbert Eich a while ago, but I never got to set something up since then yet. It might take some efforts cleaning out the core of x86emu so that it smoothly fits into both X and our "testbios" payload. But it is definitely worth the effort.
