XP Video Driver

First off, I want to say how completely impressed with VirtualBox I am. Excellent work to all the developers
XP running under VirtualBox has pretty darn good performance in that there are only sometime I can notice lag.
I have XP running as a guest on a Fedora host. The video driver XP has installed is basic VESA driver because it can not figure out the video card installed. I was wondering what you be a good video driver to use to get better video resolution on the XP guest. Here is the specs on the Fedora host:
Fedora 8 x86_64
VirtualBox 2.1.2
Dual 270 Opterons
8GB ram
ATI X1650 256MB Video Card ( using the ATI Linux Drivers )
The XP guest is set up to use 3GB of RAM and 128MB of video memory with 3d acceleration enable.
TIA,
Keith
