Well, yes; there's no TGA driver module! It was never ported to the
modularized driver scheme in Xorg 7.x.
What you are seeing, is a different server (Cirrus?) running on the
VGA chip that was put on TGA2 to provide text mode console. That
server is NOT running the TGA2 chip, and it is probably limited to
512KB of memory...

It's probably a matter of the save/restore of state by the Cirrus
driver is not working correctly on Alpha.
You've a MUCH better chance for satisfaction with ATI or Matrox
or Permedia based cards; those are known to work fine.
Good luck.
