We found this happened if the qxl driver was not signed, not properly
signed, or not properly compiled.  For example, we compiled with the DDK
in our first attempt and got only VGA.  We then compiled with the SDK
and all worked fine.  I do not know if it had anything to do with DDK
versus SDK or if we just bungled the first attempt.  But, whatever the
reason, if there is a problem with the qxl driver, it will fall back to
