    I have installed CentOS as a guest OS along with the latest Parallel Tools and the folder sharing works perfectly but the seamless mouse/keyboard interactions do not work.

    According to the docs Parallel Tools is *not* installed if you still see the "Push CTRL-ALT to release mouse" message at the bottom of the VM window however I have confirmed that prltoolsd *is* running in CentOS (in fact there are 2 processes running). Additionally the docs refer to a prlusersd process... Is this the same as the prltoolsd process?

    My CentOS install does not have any windowing system installed with it. Could this be the problem? Do the mouse/keyboard enhancements in Parallel Tools require certain libs in CentOS?

    Was there a resolution here, I ire-installed Parallels Tools and installed DKMS to no avail....I still have the "Push CTRL-ALT to release mouse" issue ?

    I'm using a minimalist instal so no XWindows just a terminal
