Hi, I have Gentoo Linux as the guest OS and MacOSX as the host. I just upgraded to 4.0.3810 and can't get the parallels tools install to get past the X server install. The error message is below. This setup worked fine under 3.0. Any advice? Thanks, Rob Start installation of user space modules X server: xorg, v1.3.0 Install X modules from directory: .1.3 System X modules are placed in /usr/lib/xorg/modules X server config: /etc/X11/xorg.conf Error: ServerLayout section has no ID name Error: configuring of X server failed Error: could not configure X server Error: failed to install user space applications and drivers 2009-03-16T19:29:14-0500: execCmd: ./install --install [1] 2009-03-16T19:29:14-0500: Error: An error occured when installing Parallels Tools.

install the tools manually. --- Mount the Parallels Tools via the menu and mount the cd within the linux system. Now untar the modules tar xvzf /media/cdrom/installer/prltools.tar.gz -c /usr/src Now just copy the Parallels Driver to /usr/lib/xorg/modules cp -r /usr/src/x-server/xorg.1.5/modules /usr/lib/xorg/modules After the copy was succesful just edit your xorg.conf.
