    I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 raring and trying to use all my displays in Linux. This works, except that the displays show up as one ultra-wide display in Linux.

    This sucks because it basically removes all multi-monitor support in my guest OS. Is there any way to get proper multiple displays working in Linux? I know VMWare Fusion supports this. If not, is there a way to work around the problem and somehow get Linux to treat the display as multiple monitors?

    I'm having the same problem, were you able to find a resolution for this? PD9 would be an instant purchase from me, but this is a total dealbreaker.

    I agree however.. this is a dealbreaker. Parallels really needs proper multi-display support for linux.

    Did this ever get resolved in later versions of Parallels? I am having issues with Fusion and contemplating switching to Parallels but the last time I tried it I wasn't able to have multiple displays in Ubuntu. I am struggling to find a definitive answer of whether newer versions of Parallels have fixed this or not.

    I grabbed a copy of Parallels 11 and the answer is yes, it works now.
