if it's installed starting X in the vm that is run with "-vga qxl" will work, and
otherwise it will fail, since no other driver supports the qxl pci device.

Another way is to look at the directory containing the drivers, you should have
a qxl_drv.so file there, under fedora 15 64 bits it is here:
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/qxl_drv.so

I assume under ubuntu 32 bits it should be at:
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/qxl_drv.so
