    Hi,

    I'm not sure if this is the right thread for the Parallels Mobile issue that I am having. I'm using Parallels Desktop 7 for my Mac Mini 2011, hooked into Samsung PX2370 monitor. In between the two, I have this HDMI Switch, where it will allow me to switch inputs between xbox 360 and mac mini (1 display output, 2 inputs - mac mini and xbox 360). Sometimes I just let my Mac Mini running without display so that my siblings can still play Xbox 360. If I want to check my running programs on VMs, I will just open up my Parallels Mobile on iPad so that I would not interrupt my siblings playing with the console.

    I noticed that, each time my xbox 360 is turned on, my host (Mac) is unable to display anything, black screen. But my VMs (which are Windows 7 and Win Server 2008), are displaying fine. If I turned off the xbox, the host will display properly again.

    Is this a normal behavior of Parallels mobile?
