    I've been running a Fedora Core 7 guest OS under PD3 with little or no issues. I upgrade to PD4, and now I'm having very strange behaviors that I cannot figure out....

    Aside from issues with the Xorg.conf files, which I worked out by having to manually install the PD4... Upon starting the Fedora Core 7 environment I find that everything works fine, until.... The PD4 environment stops recognizing my mouse when either I move using Spaces to another desktop and return to the PD4 environment, or if my system goes to screen saver and I return.

    This was a behavior that I remember from an early version of PD3, but was repaired during a patch. I fear that this is the return of a regression bug in the PD4.

    does anyone else experience this problem on a Linux guest OS after performing an upgrade and a conversion from PD3? Is there a possibility that I missed a step during the install?

    Has anyone downgraded from PD4 back down to PD3?

    Hello,

    What kind of mouse do you use - is it an external USB device, or in-build trackpad?
    Thank you.

    Mouse issues

    It's a USB mouse.... The Macally 3 button mouse. The system is a new 2ghz Intel core duo Mac Mini with 4GB of memory.

    Did you install Parallels Tools in Fedora?
    If, yes, did you modify it?
    Note, we pass only 2 button mouse, unless you transfer device as USB directly to VM
