 |

yet?
Hey everyone
In the past I was able to install Gentoo on a Parallels Desktop VM but whenever I tried to install the Parallels Tools so I can use the full screen option , the tools themselves would install fine but I would not be able to get the VM to go into a full screen mode as in actually become full screen. What configuration options should I have in make.conf so this problem can be resolved? Is it possible to add VIDEO_CARDS="prlvideo" and have portage emerge a specific video driver for Parallels Desktop? |

What video card driver are you using? I'm guessing you should use the vesa driver.
Could you post your xorg.conf? |

Ok, so I guess the tools are also providing a xorg video driver (prlvideo?). These are not provided with the xorg server so it probably won't automatically use them. As Raniz said, you should look in your xorg.conf. I think it should look like:
| Code: | Section "Device"
Identifier "Card"
Driver "prlvideo"
EndSection |
