Fedora 13 / Xorg 1.8 - Anyone got Parallels Tools to work?

[hootjr29]

I am testing out Fedora 13. Does anyone know if there are development (experimental) drivers for Parallels Tools that supports 2.6.33 kernel and Xorg 1.8?

I am wondering the same thing. Here is error log.

Parallels Desktop 6 has a version of Parallels Tools that works with Fedora 13.

 

[NicolaeT]

Any chance for an update for parallels 5?

 

[Jason Cutler]

Almost got it

I downloaded the demo of Parallels 6.
Mount the DMG.
cd Install.mpkg
ditto Parallels\ Tools\ for\ Linux.pkg/ /Users/myuser/Desktop/Parallels\ Tools\ for\ Linux.pkg/
Show Package Contents
Unzip Archive.pax.gz
In there is prl-tools-lin.iso
Back to Parallels Desktop
Mount the ISO
Open Terminal, run the install.sh as root
Success! The Tools install fine...
reboot Fedora 14...
except Parallels now says "Parallels Tools are outdated..."

Still not working

I read some more posts and then uninstalled and reinstalled the v6 Parallels Tools.
No effect. Still says "Parallels tools are outdated" forever.
I think the v5 app doesn't understand there is a newer version of the tools installed in the VM.
