    Greetings,

    After booting, the blue sign-in screen comes up but it is way oversized. Only about a quarter of it is visible on my 17 inch Dell XPS laptop screen. I can move the window around with my mouse and enter a user-id but that is as far as I can get. I cannot move the screen to get to be able to provide a password much less get to the Options button.

    If I click on the Parallel full-screen box the screen then re-sizes to the proper dimensions but then the mouse does not work and text such as user-id cannot be entered.

    I've combed through xorg.config but given the behavior of the screen (clicking on full-screen and it properly sizes but the mouse only works in giant screen) I am more suspicious of Parallels behavior (2.1) than the Solaris configuration. In spite of that my video card is ATI Mobility Radeon 9800 AGP 1280x768, driver ati2dvag.ddl, 256MB RAM. The 3button mouse is brand new. I edited my xorg.conf to use vesa and 640x480.

    Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction?

    Much appreciated.
