Hm, odd. When i switch from cirrus to the vmware display driver it seems
to work quite nicely here on my box (RHEL-6 host) and Xorg.log.0 clearly
shows it using the vmware driver in the guest, too. And i'm pretty sure
we didn't do any hacks in RHEL-6 to make this work specifically as the
default was and is cirrus driver (as limited as that may be).
I said "vmware's Windows driver" for a reason.
