It is not abnormal that coreboot and original bios create different
mappings for PCI addresses. I would leave those PCI addresses alone.

Have you transferred the graphic controllers VGA bios from the original
bios? At least your subsystem vendor/device ID pair does not match.
These steps are required to tell software what type of hardware is
designed around the controller chip.
