I installed PD6 on my FC11 and it worked fine. Then I upgraded FC11 to F13 and the X server won't start with the following messages:

[ 36.045] (II) LoadModule: "prlvideo"
[ 36.045] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/prlvideo_drv.so

Where can I download an updated version of prlvideo_drv.so, if it exists ?
 
* Solved *

OK, when you upgrade FC, as opposed to making a clean install, the old Parallels drivers and modules are still there and they are incompatible with the new version. So the solution is to re-install Parallels tools, but for some reason (I guess this still has to do with the wrong drivers), so:

1) Configure the new VM to share the /Library disk of your MAC.
2) Start new system in single user mode (run level 3)
3) Log in as administrator
4) "$ mount /media/psf/Library/Parallels/Tools/prl-tools-lin.iso /media/Parallels\ Tools -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0"
(you might have to create the "/media/Parallels\ Tools" mount point)
5) "$ /media/Parallels\ Tools/install"
6) reboot
7) live happy !
 
Better solution

A better solution would be:

1) Uninstall Parallels Tools from the current VM OS version
2) Upgrade the VM OS
3) Re-install Parallels Tools.

20-20 and all that ...
