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 !
