    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
    [ 36.045] (II) Module prlvideo: vendor="Parallels Inc."
    [ 36.045] compiled for 1.6.0, module version = 2.0.0
    [ 36.045] Module class: X.Org Video Driver
    [ 36.045] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 5.0
    [ 36.045] (EE) module ABI major version (5) doesn't match the server's version (7)
    [ 36.045] (II) UnloadModule: "prlvideo"
    [ 36.045] (II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/prlvideo_drv.so
    [ 36.045] (EE) Failed to load module "prlvideo" (module requirement mismatch, 0)

    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 ...
