MacBook Pro Parallels (Kali) Linux Limited Screen Resolution
I installed Kali Linux 2.0 in a virtual machine running Parallels on my 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display.
For some reason the max resolution is 1920x1200. I have Parallels graphics set to 'More space' for the retina display.
I want to set the resolution higher to make it full screen and have nothing stretched out. How can this be done? It's running inside a window now and that looks fine, but I want to use the full screen.

It seems you would need to have Parallels Tools installed to be able to use dynamic resolution.
Check these for possible ways to do that:
