   A patch to Ubuntu to run it within the virtual machine, right?   
      
   I hesitate in calling these things fixes.  It's hardly a fix to work    
   around a broken emulator that doesn't work like real hardware does.

   I read that as implying that you don't use Virtual PC any more.  If    
   that's the case, then it's not really important what display adapter it    
   emulates.   
      
   Then, so ... what's the display adapter on a real machine that you    
   have?  (-:
