    Hello,

    I'm having troubles to go full screen on Debian Wheezy. Apart from that, I can't use C&P between host and VM, and I can't connect USB devices. Yesterday, all of that functionalities worked. It started to fail after rebooting.

    I was able to install Wheezy and Parallels Tools. So, I was working on full screen mode (1280x800) without problems until yesterday. Today, I see this in full screen mode (see vertical black strips on both sides): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6599273/errors/parallels/parallels_full_screen_error.png

    If I go to screen resolution in Debian, it's 1024x768, and the option 1280x800 doesn't exist. I've tried re-installing Parallels Tools (see log: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6599273/errors/parallels/parallels-tools-install.log). I also tried to remove Parallels Tools and install it again. Same problem. Additionally, Copy&Paste between Mac and Debian is no longer working. And I can't share folders between both systems (the folder /media/psf just dissapeared, and the shared option is enabled)

    Apart from that, I see this when I start the Debian Wheezy VM: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6599273/errors/parallels/usb_controller_not_found.png

    Sorry, is in Spanish, but says that Parallels USB controller not found. So, I can't connect USB devices to the machine. It's the first time I see that message.

    EDIT: More interesting files:

    - My parallels.log file (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6599273/errors/parallels/parallels.log)
    - My xorg.conf file (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6599273/errors/parallels/xorg.conf)
    - My Xorg.0.log file (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6599273/errors/parallels/Xorg.0.log)

    In parallels log I see this error message: 05-25 11:42:39.630 F /prlcp:1377:b74338e0/ Error: Failed to initialize Copy-Paste monitor object

    That'd explain why I can't copy and paste. But I can't see the reason in the log file...

    This is my environment:

    - MacBook machine with Mac OS X 10.6.8
    - Parallels version 8.0.18483.860857
    - Debian Wheezy 32 bits version installed from ISO image
    - Kernel 3.0.2-4-686-pae
    - X.org 1.12.4

    About the configuration options for the machine, I just changed this:
    - Video memory changed to 128 MB. 3D acceleration disabled. It doesn't work with acceleration enabled, neither.
    - Boot order changed to CD first, then HDD.

    What may be happening?

    Many thanks in advance

    I added 1280x800 as resolution in xorg.conf, and now I can use full screen mode again, but can't see shared folders neither use c&p functionalities. And the USB error message still remains.
