    Hi all,

    I am running latest Parallels (11.2.1 (32626)) with OpenSuse Leap 42.1. with most recent updates. I have successfully installed parallels tools using the command line installer (failed to install DKMS, but that is optional). Parallels tools are running, can be seen as when running X the mouse is released automatically.

    The problem is: the X screen (KDE Desktop) stays black. During boot, I see that Parallels tries to switch to X because the window size changes, but then I only have a black content. Switching to command line (e.g. CTL-ALT-F3) works (I installed the Parallels tools that way).
    Switching 3D acceleration on/off, changing the retina handling (scaled / non-scaled) or changing allocated memory does not show any differences.

    Any Ideas ?
    I had the same issue with running Paralles 10, I hoped that this bug is solved with upgrading to 11 - unfortunately, that was not the case. I hop I did not spent the money for nothing...:(

    Kind Regards,
    Sven

    Upgraded to Parallels 12 and successfully upgraded Parallels tools, without success :-(.
