No, adding that option to xorg.conf does not help. The screen x-origin
is still shifted over (always in the center for the login screen, in
varying positions for different X screen modes). Also switching to a
ttyN console still results in a blank screen.

There's another really strange effect that sometimes happens while
booting - after any disk checking, gradually the text screen buffer is
clouded over - as if a dark cloud is moving up the screen. Finally the
screen goes black, when this happens. And once just a few minutes ago
there was a segfault while booting.

It's completely normal that you lose data on "Windows" platforms.
That's why you have a UNIX or Linux or BSD server for backups.
