Hello,

From the manual, page 75:
http://www.parallels.com/files/upload/Parallels%20Workstation%202_2%20User%20Guide%20Nov%2022.pdf

it seems you have to specify (xf86cfg, xf86config or edit
/etc/X11/XF86Config) a VESA graphic driver and 4096K of
video ram . (and of course resolutions/depths that you want).
