This is an old-ish thread, but I finally got around to trying to figure this out and thought I would post what I found in case other folks run into this problem with Linuxcnc-sim on Parallels. Under the Virtual Machine menu of the Parallels Desktop application, select Virtual Machine -> Configure. Ubuntu must be shut down in order to configure. From the dialog box that comes up select the Video settings and turn off Enable 3D acceleration. I also set my video memory to 256MB. Now Linuxcnc and Axis run. Tom
