Snow Leopard Server

I run Snow Leopard Server as a virtual machine using Parallels Desktop 8.


When I go to Displays in System Preferences, it only gives me one screen resolution. I'm certain the resolution it gives me is 1024x1050, this resolution is what I think it is set at.


I use Parallels Desktop 8 on a 27" iMac (latest version iMac) and I know that it does higher screen resolutions than the above one.


Is there a way of increasing screen resolution when it is not listed under Displays in System Preferences?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion

Figured out how to do it. I had to install Parallel Tools on to the virtual machine. This gave me a list of resolutions to choose from.
