Graphics card detection error

I have installed vpc sp1 and have created a wiindows xp vm.

XP did not detect the graohics card correctly.

I have an acer 5920G dual core, geforce 8600M with 2 gigs.

It has detected the gfx card as a S3 trio 32/64.

Yes, it would do, because that's the graphics card which is emulated in
virtual machines:
