Sorry about accidental incomplete post ...
2x VGA controllers:
Intel Cort 3rd Gen Core Processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
AMD nee ATI WIMBLEDON XT [Radeon HD 7970M] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
I had problems with this machine [new laptop, Oct 2012] with kernel crashes in Linux Mint 13. Solved initially with custom kernel. This caused problems with VirtualBox kernel driver rebuilding (!), so installed Mint 14. VBox now installs OK, and runs, but crashes the whole machine [hard reset] shortly after booting the guest WinXP.
No problems on my fallback desktop LinuxMint 13 AMD machine. [same machine image]
I suspect, although have no evidence for, problems with the Intel display and Vbox ... All previous crashes on this machine were due to kernel bugs, since fixed, with the Intel display driver.
