Display count in VB is set to one but lets me choose up to 8.

[chris at mingisapsycho ~]$ xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   1024x768              61.0*
   800x600              61.0
   640x480              61.0


I get the same results regardless of how much video RAM I throw at it, or if I enable 3D Acceleration and 2D Acceleration in VB.
