So which is it? Black screen if you use vga=somethingorother? Black screen if
you don't use vga=somethingorother?

SaX2 never had anything to do with tty mode. Take a look at
http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 to see how the current Xorg
versions differ from what used to be and what keeping SaX2 supported might
entail.

For your ttys, try on cmdline instead of vga=0x346 something like
video="VGA1:1600x1200@75" or whatever xrandr shows as the name of the video
output port you're using.
