Greetings I installed Linux Mint Cinnamon 17 perfectly but the issue is with the graphic card It gives me the maximum resolution 800 x 600 (4:3) display Parallels cannot detect any other resolution I am running MacBook Pro 15.4 inch model Mid 2012 Regards,
I also have this same problem. I have a new 15.4 inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display running Mac OS X Mavericks. I had to resort to Linux Mint 16 with XFCE Desktop. I'd like to run Linux Mint 17, but not at 800 x 600 resolution. Regards, John
Hi , I had same problem and here is a workaround that worked with my install (MacBook air, Parallels 9 (last fix), Mint 17 Cinnamon). After install Mint 17, I got the message after 1st login : "Software running in rendering mode" => to solve this, just re-install Parallels Tools (boot VM, go to Menu "Virtual Machine" and "Install Parallels Tools". The for changing resolution , let's say 1024x768 (or like me for the 13' MBA : 1440x900) : edit the default grub cfg file : #sudo vim /etc/default/grub change, uncomment, or add: GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1024x768 update grub: #sudo update-grub reboot !
