    Hello,

    I am having a lot of problems working with Mandriva Linux and Parallels Desktops for Mac latest 5600. Everything works ok, except Parallel Tools.

    On Mandriva Linux 2008.1 Parallel Tools simply won't install saying it can't find xorg. I did some research, and it seams that Parallel Tools can't cope with X.org 1.4 which is present in this Mandriva version.

    So, I thougth I should try some older versions, and I tryed Mandriva Linux 2008.0, with X.org 1.3. Now Parallel Tools installs, and the mouse sincronization works perfectly, but everything else doesn't seam to work. The resolution is fixed in a value larger then my window can be, and resizing the window doesn't change the resolution inside it =/ Copy+Paste also doesn't work.

    Does anyone know how to solve those problems with Mandriva 2008.0? It takes quite some time to install and configure a distribution, so I'd rather avoid having to test yet another yet older version to see if things maybe finally work.

    thanks,
