How many tries? More than one refresh? Without refresh? With other resolutions?
Without limit to one port?

It wouldn't surprise me at all. I didn't see you mention NVidia's driver before

no ideas how VT output is managed with proprietary drivers engaged.
Maybe this is one of those cases where nosimplefb=1 is needed on cmdline?
