Fedora 9 with X11?

Bit poster
Hi,

anyone have Fedora 9 guest with working X running in Parallels Desktop 3.0?

Everything else seems to work, but I can't get the X server to start nor system-config-display. The error message in the setup log is:

(EE) VESA(0): No matching modes
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Any ideas? If you have this working, could you post your xorg.conf?
 
Ah, thanks; that did the trick.

Where would I have found this workaround on my own? Is there a list of common problems including stuff like this anywhere?

Also, what can we as users do to help ensure our favourite guest OS is well supported? Do you maintain, say, a liaison with the various common Linux distros (e.g. Fedora, or Ubuntu, or ...)?

John Thank you. Although I am a very pleased Parallels user, (Macbook Pro & Windows) I will be adding in VMWare until you catch up. I am taking a training class were we build a Virtual (Fedora) Linux server and XP box. In brief, the XP box has to use the server for web, proxy, and internet access. I tried to install Parallels Tools last night on Suse10, and now my Suse slowed to a crawl. Most of it is likely my own inexperience, but I must say, VMWare just works - once I learn my objective and then do the objective.
I welcome your follow up.
Pateo.
