   There was nothing in the lspci info that didn't already appear in the pciscan    
   output. That's why I dug out the X server log instead as it appeared to have    
   more info in it.  VBox does let you set the size of the video memory so maybe    
   that's what you're after? If so then it varies according to user settings.
