The only way you could piggy back it is if it were a USB device, if it's a PCI (e) device then you're out of luck because none of the virtualisation products out there can utilise PCI(e) devices correctly (thats why they are generic SVGA display adapters rather than Nvidia or ATI devices.

The real world is not about exam scores, it's about ability.

USB won't work either - VirtualPC doesn't support USB, although VirtualBox does.
