I did do an apt-get update/upgrade however the problems have
persisted.
I have tried using both S3 and Vesa drivers as various sources on the
internet have suggested. Has anybody here gotten this to work? If
so how
did you do it?

Michael,
The following message from the archives helped me greatly, and
there's other stuff on Google, but you have to sort through the dated
stuff:

I am using the vesa driver with the frame buffer option enabled
and 16384 memory on VirtualPC 7.0.2. I am having trouble booting one
of the stock 2.6 kernels, so I have to work that out before my Gnome
install is going to start acting right I think.
Regards,
