Something I also forgot to ask is. Does VirtualPC supply its own 'virtual' video adapter? This is the way VMware (similar product) operates.
I've used VirtualPc when it was owned by Connectix, before Microsoft purchased it. But that was years ago. So I am not sure how it works today, nor remember the way it was.
If it does, then it will not matter which hardware video card you have installed. As RedHat will need to be made aware of the video adapter that VirtualPc is emulating.

You may need to look into this before going any further.

You could try using a very conservative selection. The files you will be editing should be in the /etc/X11. Though I am using slackware Linux, and some files are placed differently on different distros.
If you can not find the needed files for editing, just issue a locate command. such as
locate xorg.conf
Which should display the paths for the files.
