    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?

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

    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    except Parallels now says "Parallels Tools are outdated..."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 Still says "Parallels tools are outdated" forever.
    I think the v5 app doesn't understand there is a newer version of the tools installed in the VM.
