    I have the lastest version of parallels running on the Mac Pro.
    Its running Windows XP Pro nicely (although I have not stressed it).
    Each new beta release has its own problems apparently.
    The current 1908 build lifted the memory issue as promised.
    I did the sleep trick and it worked after several crashes.

    I managed to get a Suse Linux 9.2 (tried 10.2 but ran into problems with the install)
    to run under 1896.2. Then I installed 1908 and parallels crashed complaining
    about the terminal monitor. But finally after moving the VM memory below 1028
    it worked (this seemed to do it for me).
    I am seeing disk arbitrator failures (not responding) in the logs and this may be why I cannot
    load suse 10.0 Anyway my biggest pain now is the fact that I can't get
    Suse 9.2 to use a large screen size. I am running on a 23 inch apple but it
    only gets to 800x600 resolution. Does anybody know the magic to get
    to a larger resolution running linux or is this just a parallels limitation?
    I played with the Suse configuration but the console never gets any bigger.

    :)

    i dont knwo Suse, but in redhat, its because the default monitor in the X server is set to 800x600. In the resolution settings, specify the monitor type closest macthing your desired resolution.
