Yeah, you are missing that you have to use two Quadros if you want to use it the way it's officially supported. If you just have a single graphics card in your system you can't assign it to the guest as it has to be used for the host. If you have desktop + a quadro you will only be able to...

Graphics in a VM Hi! You can't play games in a plain virtual machine because these VMs only emulate a graphics card and do not offer 3d-acceleration. That's also the reason why you can't install your usual graphics driver: There is no graphics card, just an emulation! Basically it's just...

Hi Dennis! I'll try to figure it out myself. At first I installed the missing "dkms"-package as this was the fist error within the log-file. -------------------- Howto install DKMS on openSUSE 11.4: Original place to find DKMS: http://linux.dell.com/dkms (There is no "how-to" given...

Peter: Despite the lack of official support for your board the bare VT-d support of the mainboard is not enough. You also have to use the right graphics card that has to be compatible to these virtualisation features! Quadro FX3800, FX4800, FX5800, 2000, 4000, .... or FirePro (newest...

Hi! Today I installed OpenSUSE 11.4 within Parallels Workstation Extreme 4. At the beginning it is quite tricky, but finally I got it working. Nevertheless I had to disable the sound as it caused the VM to freeze completely! After removing the sound device from the configuration of the VM...

Hallo! Es ist schon über ein Jahr her, daß Du Deinen Beitrag geschrieben hast, aber eine Antwort wäre trotzdem nicht schlecht für Leute, die es noch nicht beantwortet haben: Für die virtuellen Maschinen brauchst Du mindestens eine Quadro (FX1800*), FX3800, FX4800, FX5800, 2000, 4000...

Update: Well done! All reported problems have been fixed! Nevertheless I have a new strange keyboard-focus loss in the following condition: Running VMs: - First running VM: Vista SP1 x64 with dedicated graphics card and monitor - Second running VM: Windows XP Pro SP3, all updates...

Build 6698 fixes most Problems Hi! Most of the reported problems are solved with the Build 6698. - The keyboard layout problem has been completely fixed! - The problem of not being able to reenter a VM with a dedicated graphics card has been fixed! - The mouse focus is no longer lost.

Thanks! :) Finally it seems as if someone would have recognized the problems that have been reported in this part of the forum. I'll test the update and report back as soon as possible. Thanks! This will certainly improve the result of the review that I am writing. -------------...

Important information for other customers Well, there are not that many replies to my questions.... One important detail is the actual used version. My installation CD contained Build 4992. Using the build in update function, that is not called directly after the installation, the version...

Solution for mouse-capture-problem Hello again! Today I installed the newest Parallels Desktop Trail Version within a Parallels Workstation VM just to get the "Parallels Tools" ISO that it contains. After that I copied this ISO to my HOST, assigned it as CD-ROM to a guest of Parallels...

I solved the IO-Issue myself with a workaround: Configure... -> HardDisk1 -> Interface -> SCSI. The option "interface" is only visible if you enable "Show advanced options" in the lower left corner. But this is only an option if the performance is really bad. It may cause the VM to...

Sorry for the doublepost, but it's worth it: It is possible to combine a 8800GTS 512 and a FX 3800. You have to get the order right: The 8800GTS 512 has to be the card for the HOST. The FX 3800 can be assigned to the VM. I tested it today. If you look carefully at the promotion video of...

For Aero you will need DirectX support. AFAIK this is only supported on Parallels Workstation 4.0 Extreme. Special hardware requirements are also present but superior performance will be the result.

Dear Sirs, I installed Parallallels Workstation 4.0 Extreme on a HP Z800 (12GB RAM, XEON E5520) with two Quadro FX 3800s. The hardware virtualisation of the graphics card works as advertised! For all reported bugs the settings within the VMs are identical. Parallels Workstation is always...

I do have a HP Z800, another high-end workstation, two FX 3800s, two FX 4800s and a plain GeForce 8800GTS 512 (G92). It may take a few days but I will test to combine the desktop card with one or two of the mentioned quadros. Just let me know if this information would be helpful.

Dear Sirs, Some time ago Parallels sent an eMail to me with a special offer (100$ rebate) for Parallels Workstation 4 Extreme. So I replied to that mail to get a trail version but received no reply. Next I contacted the German PR agent, I tried to contact the German office of Parallels in...

@tacit_one: My trail period is already over (2 days left). Is there any chance to expand it for additional 7 days to confirm the upgrades?

I can confirm that the workaround works. Nevertheless it's a little bit confusing that the keyboardlayout it messed up a little bit weired: The resulting layout within the VM is neither german nor english. Some examples: The german letter "ß" is mapped to the key "-" but on an english...
