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.

switch_root
SWITCH_ROOT(8) System Administration SWITCH_ROOT(8)
NAME
switch_root - switch to another filesystem as the root of the mount tree
SYNOPSIS
switch_root [-hV]
switch_root newroot init [arg...]
DESCRIPTION
switch_root moves already mounted /proc, /dev, /sys and /run to newroot and makes newroot the new root filesystem and starts init process.
WARNING: switch_root removes recursively all files and directories on the current root filesystem.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Display help text and exit.
-V, --version
Display version information and exit.
RETURN VALUE
switch_root returns 0 on success and 1 on failure.
NOTES
switch_root will fail to function if newroot is not the root of a mount. If you want to switch root into a directory that does not meet
this requirement then you can first use a bind-mounting trick to turn any directory into a mount point:
mount --bind $DIR $DIR
SEE ALSO
chroot(2), init(8), mkinitrd(8), mount(8)

AVAILABILITY
The switch_root command is part of the util-linux package and is available from https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
