Your VM is using "VESA" driver.

It is set "on-the-fly" :-)
Anyway, you can always make a /etc/X11/xorng.conf file and put there any
configuration you need.
2) There are three

The one is active, I'd guess the laptop's embedded one.
"xrandr -q" will tell you more about your detected screens.

You will need to install "guest-additions" in your VM so your virtual
