Wow! Hardware is that old.
Your reinstall issue has got me thinking. I've been involved with SCO since (seemingly) prehistoric times and I've forgotten more than I can remember.
I just feel that something in the back of my mind points to a BIOS setting especially the one that used to allow you to map video memory into RAM to increase speed. Can you just try toggling that? I can't even remember what the parameter was called back then; video shadowing and/or BIOS shadowing???? If it's on, turn it off, if it's off, turn it on. It's just something that I think I remember but could easily be wrong.

vga_screenoff
vga_screenoff(3) Svgalib User Manual vga_screenoff(3)
NAME
vga_screenoff, vga_screenon - turn generation of the video signal on or off
SYNOPSIS
#include <vga.h>
int vga_screenoff(void);
int vga_screenon(void);
DESCRIPTION
The functions turn the generation of the video signal on or off. On some video boards, SVGA memory access is faster when no video signal is
generated. On the other hand, not all boards allow to disable it (at least not in all modes).
The functions always return 0 (on which you should probably not really rely).

original documentation is unknown.
It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm Hanemaayer <H.Hanemaayer@inter.nl.net>.
