Ah, /var/log/Xorg.0.log has greater verbosity than stdout/stderr. I am
just curious where we reject the -intel driver and hence fail to init
the screen.

VGA can only be on CRTC-0. At initialisation, LVDS1 is on CRTC-0 and so
prevents the VGA from finding a CRTC.

If you do:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --off
xrandr --output VGA1 --preferred
xrandr --output LVDS1 --preferred

it should work, or more compactly:

xrandr \
  --output VGA1 --preferred --crtc 0 \
  --output LVDS1 --preferred --crtc 1 --primary --left-of VGA1

(adjust primary and position to taste)

Flickering is another problem altogether (who votes for DSPARB?).
