I had the same problems with 6.8.2 (unresolved XAA references and SEGV),
and was able to solve it by adding in:
Option "NoInt10"
to prevent the BIOS emulation step from running.
This prevented not only the SEGV but the unresolved references as well.
Only possible side effect may be that, upon exiting to a text console,
text mode may not be correctly/completely restored.
