I just looked at some vga bios and it uses about 896,45 Hz.

The bios i looked at used the refresh request port 0x61. This is supported by bochs and
there is also a patch for qemu to replace the dummy [1]. The rombios uses this to provide
INT 15h AH=86h functionality; this is likely broken with the dummy code in qemu.
Anyway, using "timer ticks since midnight" should be possible (INT 08h handler is set up
before vga bios is called).
