Hi,
No joy with this i'm afraid, still getting crazy high xorg usage. I've resorted to running kali in multi-user mode and SSHing to it, i can at least get some things done with the non-graphical applications for now, though not having the graphical applications is a bit limiting.
Any other suggestions?
Edit: I retract the above. I thought by 'VM's boot args' you meant the kernel options, however I was curious what 'devices.usb.mouse=2' referred to, and found another conversation with instructions to edit the actual VM settings.
For anyone else wondering:
- Go into your virtual machines configuration (within Parallels).
- Go to 'Hardware'
- Go to 'Boot Order'
- Press 'Advanced Settings'
- Insert 'devices.usb.mouse=2' into the 'Boot Flags' box.
Your VM will need to be shut down for this to take effect.
rkulikov - Can you enlighten me as to what this actually does? Best I can tell from looking around it's something to do with device emulation, but I'm not seeing anything specific.
