I wonder what goes wrong with setting the VBE mode with GRUB? Are you sure, you use the proper GRUB version? The standard version of GRUB does not support vbeset. You can find Adam's patches for GRUB versions with vbeset support here:
I use 0.97-os.1, took it from the demo CD AFAIR. The CVS version is quite uncompilable, but if there is interest I can submit the bugs here.
This is the last message (on serial), while the Qemu screen is black and empty (it does change its size, so I guess vbeset works, and the failure is in L4/Fiasco somewhere)
Welcome to Fiasco(ia32)! DD-L4(v2)/x86 microkernel (C) 1998-2006 TU Dresden Rev: Thu Nov 23 10:27:00 2006 compiled with gcc 3.4.4 for Intel Pentium Pro Performance-critical config option(s) detected: CONFIG_ASSEMBLER_IPC_SHORTCUT is off
l4con works nicely however (with its --vbemode), there are screenshots on my site about that (http://www.gabucino.be/).
