Unfortunately, my understanding of how the graphics stuff works with VMs
is very incomplete. I just haven't used them much, especially not on
windoze. I've seen VirtualBox on windoze once, used to run more windoze
in it ... so I'm clueless :(
As a shot into the dark, I would guess that a driver for a physically
present graphics card would need to be able to actually access the
graphics card to be able to fully make use of its features. I don't
know to what extend that is possible from inside a VM --- I sure
wouldn't like it if I was running a VM and suddenly something running in
the VM would access the physically present graphics card and mess up my
X session ...
I'm interested in finding out how this works with VMs, though, since I
currently plan to set one up ...
