Thank you. You are correct that, in my inexperience, I had 
insufficiently studied and understood the documentation.
I managed to get the VGA correctly working using Gabor's method. I now 
have a different difficulty. I'm running HVM Windows Server 2008 R2. I 
turned the resolution up in steps and ti was fine until I hit 1600x1050. 
As soon as I selected that, the vnc session terminated (using 
gvncviewer) and I can't re-establish it (it flashes up, reports the 
1600x1050 resolution in the console I launched it from then says that 
the session has terminated and closes).
I tried increasing the videoram line but this didn't help. I then 
commented out both the stdvga and videoram lines and was able to access 
Windows in 1024x768 as before. I turned the screen rez down to 800x600, 
put the stdvga and videoram lines back and restarted. Windows (thinking 
it was being helpful) put the resolution back to 1600x1050 and it failed 
again.
Is there any way I can stop the VNC console dying at high resolutions or 
stop Windows from restoring the old, non-working resolution when I put 
the virtual cirrus card back please?
Thanks,
Paul.
