 The [VideoMode] modes which work for me are: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768. Those that do not work are: 1366x768 and 1920x1080. Yes, I think it's buggy vbios and / or buggy VESA detection of LFB in 16:9 modes. The 16:9 modes are garbled, they're still detected and don't crash, but the video is scrambled / garbled. Some programs work at my 16:9 VESA modes (for example SEA v1.3 picture viewer and Hexen 2 and Quake 2 DOS ports) but others don't. I think it's buggy vbios on my end, not your program. Although there might be another VESA-detection code you might try??. Perhaps.

Yes, VSBHDA is what I loaded. It didn't crash the system upon executing DUGL Player, but SB Emu did in every instance.
