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:


http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2004/08/msg09285.html

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.

Configure X on virtual pc 2004

[Michael Martinell]

I just downloaded 3.01 r5 and wanted to try it out.  I set up an virtual pc
2004 session in and installed it.  I can only get X to start in 256 color
640x480 mode.  Not a very useful mode.  I have tried just about every
combination of xf86config and dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 however I
always get a variation of the same error: failed to load module s3 module
does not exist

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?

If anybody has successfully gotten this going I would be happy to know how
you did it.

Thanks.
