Parallels Tools for Linux
To ensure a better integration between your primary and guest OS, Parallels Desktop provides a
set of tools for Linux guest OSes that includes Dynamic Resolution Tool, Mouse
Synchronization Tool and Time Synchronization Tool.
Dynamic Resolution Tool
Dynamic Resolution Tool enables you to work with dynamic resolution. When you resize the
guest OS window by dragging its lower right corner, the guest OS window resolution changes
automatically.
Mouse Synchronization Tool
Mouse Synchronization Tool provides automatic capture of the mouse input each time the
pointer goes over the guest OS window and automatic release of the mouse input when the
pointer moves out of the guest OS window. This tool also makes pointer movements smoother.
Time Synchronization Tool
Time Synchronization Tool enables you to configure time settings on your guest OS. With this
tool you can:
synchronize time between your host and guest OS
set up and maintain time difference between your host and guest OS
Note. If you installed other time synchronization software, please stop it before installing
Parallels Tools in order to avoid potential conflicts.
The table below lists available configuration options for this tool.
Options Description

-d
Set a certain time difference between your primary OS and your guest Linux OS. The
option has the following values:
<seconds> - used to set up a positive value, so that the guest OS time goes ahead of
the primary OS time.
n<seconds> - used to set up a negative value, so that the guest OS time goes behind
the primary OS time.
-s
Set the synchronization interval for the guest OS to synchronize its time with the
primary OS. The interval is measured in seconds and varies from 1 to 3600 seconds.
