    Hey everyone I am a n00b to the world of Parallels Desktop

    I was able to get Gentooo with Kernel 2.6.31-r6 to install successfully on Parallels Desktop 5. I have a few questions though about Parallels and Gentoo :

    1) I had to use the VIDEO_CARDS="vesa" setting in my /etc/make.conf file. Does Parallels Desktop have any specific drivers made for Gentoo that I could use instead? Something like VIDEO_CARDS="Parallels" ?

    2) For some straaange reason, even though Parallels Tools did install, it will not successfully go into full screen mode. I mean it "goes into full screen mode" but in reality its just a square in the middle of the screen with my Gentoo OS running in it and a large black border around the square that takes up the rest of the screen. Anyone been able to fix that issue as of yet?



    All help is greatly appreciated!

    What is your video ram set too? Could you paste your xorg.conf file so we can see it? Thanks
