I never did post my results. Unfortunately, BeOS promptly locks up on any keyboard input and I searched around for ever and ever for a fix. I gave up soon after. I never had a problem with the video or even the mouse. I can move the mouse over to NetPositive for example, open NetPositive but the second I type something in the URL bar the mouse freezes and I assume that the rest of the virtual machine freezes. I tried playing with Safe Mode settings but it didn't change much. You know, you are right. I never did post my results.

It didn't for me using the BeOS 5.0 installer CD and Virtual PC 6.0 on Mac OS X 10.3. The video driver is not recognized (i.e. BeOS in B&W) and the keyboard on my iBook G4 is totally useless.
