Unofficial fix for Linux Guest OS Parallels Tools with Xorg 1.4 version

Beta testing is in progress

 

Any chance we could see the beta version?

Thx,

Mike

 

Sure, in the mid- end of August

 

This was delayed from the previous end-of-June date?

Nop, I suppose you mean Parallels Desktop version 4, if you mean ver 3, no we do not have available beta

 

I meant the previously (EO June) scheduled xorg 1.4 compatible version of Parallels 3.0 + Tools...

I'm beginning to wonder why we're waiting for an incremental update (that's a week overdue) when a new version of the software (which undoubtedly will not be free) is supposed to be released approximately four weeks later. This isn't looking kosher.

 

We will improve this in version 3, not making users to buy ver 4

 

Highly unlikely! I will not pay you any more money until version 3 works as promised.

 

How I get right-click in Ubuntu 8.04

Ok, not quite, but good enough for now...

I followed the earlier instructions in this thread to get a copy of parallels-tools that worked and tweaked the configuration as per instructions for matching video-resolution, etc.

Then in Ubuntu I turned on "assistive technologies". Now go to the Mouse settings and turn on Simulated Secondary Click under Accessibility. Now I can hold down the left-click to get a right click. Works pretty well actually.

 

Hi, there
Build with Parallels Tools is passed to QA team

 

nearly 2 months now. any updates ?

Thanks.

 

Yup, they are giving out free iTunes cards so that you do not switch to VMWare!

 

It looks that we are forgot all here

wow... i just ran into this problem and the fix is posted today.

but!

I have a german localized version of parallels desktop for mac. Any chance for a german localized build?

and just a hint:
please consider to build a adapter pattern alike wrapper to encapsulate your driver, for it is possible to let the "user" compile parallels tools against various xorg versions(via commandline installer script or something like that). look at the way the nvidia linux driver does its installation, that should be possible for xorg and parallels tools too.

 

Developers are working on localized builds.
