I'm afraid we don't have a video debugging script. From the guest side, I think your best bet is to use standard Windows debugging techniques, without worrying about the fact that the system is running in a virtual machine rather than on physical hardware. If you can rebuild VirtualBox then you might also want to instrument or step through the graphics device code, but I would almost expect you to learn more initially by debugging in the guest and looking at the device source code to match it to the behaviour.

As Frank said, a log file would be the minimum we would need to look at anything ourselves. But a reproduction scenario where you install a Windows guest and reproduce the problem there would be very interesting (and might also help you understand what is happening).
