Already tried VMWare server but it won;t install on Windows Home Server due
to some sort of certificate error. I'll have to follow up with VMWare.

VMWare Server like Virtual Server 2005 from Microsoft are primarily
aimed at server type PC:s. This means they did not do very much to
support workstation use....

I did not mean Server when I referred to VMWare, instead I meant
either WorkStation, Fusion (for the Mac) or Player (for the poor
people since it is free).

But WHS is Server 2003 under the hood. Isn't that the type of system their
server software is intended for?

Or, try my suggestions:
Change the video card to generic VESA with 8MB of VRAM. Also, change
the monitor to something that can handle the resolution you want, i.e.
generic VESA LCD 1600x1200 or similar.

He means change those settings in the guest, in your case, the Linux guest.
