I just got a message pointing to the Parallels update beta.



It mentions "Video output improvement and acceleration" as a new feature. I can't seem to find any more detail and I've got to run. Anyone "In the know" know if this means virtualized directX can use the Mac's hardware acceleration for things like games?

    No its just greatly improved 2d video accelleration. They mentioned 3d coming later (probably Parallels 3.0).

    Would Darwine do the trick?

    Isn't that an alpha hack?
