Hi all, I'm running PD 7.0 on a late 2009 13" MBP. I installed Ubuntu 11.04 by choosing Ubuntu from the new VM dialog in Parallels, then upgraded to 11.1 after install. I then installed Parallels Tools, no problems were reported and Parallels reports that the Tools are up to date. However, I cannot seem to enable dynamic screen resolution. It seems to be stuck in a small size, maybe 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768. When I expand the guest window or enter full screen, the resolution doesn't change, text and icons become large and fuzzy. I dug around and found that the video driver being used is VESA: Parallels video adapter. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks
Thanks dpickett, what should I edit in the xorg.conf? # X.Org server configuration file generated by Parallels Guest Tools. # # Parallels Video section Section "Device" Identifier "Parallels Video" Driver "prlvideo" EndSection # Parallels Monitor section Section "Monitor" Identifier "Parallels Monitor" VendorName "Parallels Inc." ModelName "Parallels Monitor" EndSection # Parallels Screen section Section "Screen" Identifier "Parallels Screen" Device "Parallels Video" Monitor "Parallels Monitor" Option "NoMTRR" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection # DefaultFlags section Section "ServerFlags" Option "AllowEmptyInput" "yes" Option "AutoAddDevices" "yes" EndSection # DefaultLayout section Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "DefaultLayout" Screen "Parallels Screen" EndSection
Try changing the setting in modes to the resolution you want. I run my VM at full screen, so my Modes line is: Code: Modes "1920x1080"
