That negates the need to install "third party" manufacturer's drivers

OS usually has the necessary drivers already included..


So apparently neither of us can really provide much beyond what has
already been presented, unless you've got more.

Maybe someone else has some input per VMWare, and the game and speed
issues.

(Just for interest; I haven't played with virtual machines of any sort)
Perhaps one of you who is running a virtual machine and _doesn't_ have
the problem of it only giving VGA (640x480 16 colours) could go into
Display Properties, and tell us what hardware the VM "thinks" it's
driving? And, what the highest resolution/depth are available? And is
that "virtual hardware" any relation to the actual video hardware on the
host machine?
