In installed MS Virtual PC 2004 but couldn't get Xwindows to work correctly. The default video driver is S3 and I installed it that way but the video display was garbled.
I vi'd the file
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config
with the updated items below and got it to work!
I have a Dell Latitiude D600.
BTW this will provide more than 800x600 when running Linux
--------
I edited the monitor, device and screen section. The following extract of my XF86Config is working fine in my environment
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Generic Laptop Display Panel 1400x1050"
HorizSync 31.5 - 90.0
VertRefresh 59.0 - 75.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "vesa"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "VESA driver (generic)"
VideoRam 8192
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

博主安装MS Virtual PC 2004后，Xwindows无法正常工作，默认S3视频驱动导致显示混乱。通过编辑/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config文件，修改监视器、设备和屏幕部分配置，解决了显示问题，且运行Linux时分辨率可超800x600。
