Which version of VirtualPC are you using? I worked a little on it a few months
ago to make it work (I used a Connectix Windows 5.something Free Trial version).

'Unknown ViRGE/Trio64+ - 0x8810' is correct, there is no chip I am aware of with
that ID. Fortunately, the code falls through to using the parameters for the chip with
ID 8811 in this case. There is an entry for it in /lib/vgadb already:

	...
	0xC0045="S3 Savage\IX BIOS Ver. 4.02.50 - 39"	# IBM Thinkpad T21
	0xC000E="VIDEO B"		# Connectix Virtual PC
	link=vga
	hwgc=s3hwgc
	ctlr=virge linear=1

	...
