It works, no matter how many monitors. Did you run

   VBoxManage modifyvm <uuid|name> --vram 256

You'll have to replace <uuid|name> by the actual name or ID of your 
machine. You can get either (if you can't figure it out) by running

   VBoxManage list vms

(VBoxManage is a command-line program in the Vbox program set.)
