    I'm running the latest version of Parallels on a new MacBook Pro. Has anyone had success getting Linux to display 1440x900? I manually edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf modes to make this the default rez but not matter what distro I try, I can only get 800x600.

    If you have been able to get something other than 800x600, please post your xorg.conf here.


    Thanks!!

    This has already been answered several times.

    I believe I remember some people posting diffrent config files for diffrent distros as well. Specifically ubuntu comes to mind.

    I would use the search button below the forums.

    Here's my .conf file

    I'm been using 1440x900 resolution on my MacBook Pro with Linux and it works great. I'm using a Mepis beta, which is, I believe, an Ubuntu distro. Anyway, if it helps, here's my .conf file. The only things I changed are places where you see the 1440x900 resolution specified in the file.
