No, your ATI Radeon card has nothing to do with the "problem". You
need to understand that your host has access to your real hardware:
graphics card, monitor, HDDs, RAM, CPU, etc. while your VM has NO
ACCESS to your real hardware. Therefore it doesn't know your monitor,
your graphics card, your HDDs, your CPU, etc. etc.

It's a VIRTUAL machine, the hardware in the VM is virtual as well (eg.
the hardware is not physical, you'll never be able to touch the
hardware of your VM - it doesn't exist in real life, only in software
on your computer).
