I don't think so...
It detects new hardware (I am virtualizing an existing machine), asks me
where to look for a driver, I make it go looking into the Win2000
installation CD and online at Windows Update but it says it cannot find
a driver for such video adapter. It asks me if I want to disable the
device or be prompted again for installation at the next boot.
And it keeps running at 16 colors (4 bit depth) 800x600 and very poor
performances when moving windows around.
