    the feature list of Parallels Desktop 4 includes OpenGL 2.0 support.
    Is this 3D-acceleration usable in Linux guest machines?
    If yes, in which distros?

    if they actually do support opengl acceleration for linux guests, (a feature they promised for PD4 back in april) then the distribution would be largely irrelevant. the vmware graphics adaptor would have a driver which could be compiled for any distro, unless they are only providing binarys... oh wait, they arent. so sorry *cough* what were you saying about open gl support? it seems pretty crazy to be honest, that they can take a operating system like osx, which is opengl based, and then map support for directx, back to opengl, and even map opengl for windows, but not provide an opengl compliant rendering device for unix?
