3120 RC1: Coherence with Multiple Displays

I have four monitors, with the following resolutions:

1920 x 1200
1280 x 1024
1600 x 1200
1280 x 1024

When I enable Coherence, I get an error message like this:

Unable to switch to Coherence Mode. Primary Operating system does not support screen resolution requested by guest operating system. Select another resolution for the guest operating system or review your video system configuration.

I have already created a resolution of 6080x1200 within Parallels, hoping that would fix it, but it didn't.

How do I resolve?

Thanks,

Toine
 
Are you sure your first and third screens are 1200 high? It's usually 1280. And doesn't the full area need to be 6060 wide, not 6080?

Here's something "odd" to try. Parallels/View/Coherence and then DE-select "Exclude Dock". See what affect that has on the dimensions of your extended Desktop.
 
Hear hear!

Just thought I'd add some support for this thread. I can't get it to work correctly either with dual monitors - when I unplug one of my monitors, it works fine.

Loving what you guys are doing Parallels! Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the fix!
