Is that a 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu?
64-bit.
The 32-bit drivers on 64-bit Ubuntu have a tendency to be broken, although in this case that would probably be Parallels' responsibility and not Ubuntu's. Two general points though: - Don't use Ubuntu for serious development.
What would you recommend using? Do you mean MacOS itself in this specific instance, or was that a general comment (i.e., use Fedora not Ubuntu).
- Don't use VMs for GL/D3D development, unless you can fix the drivers yourself.
Thank you. Duly noted.
I'm sure it's all kinds of fun to make it work, but it's not very productive, and you end up with a somewhat questionable configuration for testing.

p.s. As a note I've actually had similar results in my testing with Mac OS vs VMs. In fact, there are some bugs I was _only_ able to reproduce in the VM (I got an error about a mode not being available within the Mac OS version).
