Installing FC2 in VirtualPC for Mac

My only PC had a major hard drive failure. I can't wait to test FC2, so I decide to try it out in VirtualPC on my Powerbook.

The 12' G4 Powerbook comes with a NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200. VirtualPC version is 6.1.1. I once successfully installed FC1 on it. However, FC2 can't get into X. Whenever the installer tries to launch X, everything goes black. I did notice from the console that it loaded a generic S3 Trio64 driver.

I guess there won't be many doing what I'm doing. So the question is whether I can load the proper video driver instead of letting the installer probe a wrong one. If yes, which driver should I pick and how do I do this? Thanks!!!
