Re: [vbox-users] Good News: new VirtualBox setup article for openSUSE project (LfL)

I was able to get USB support on OpenSuse 10.1 and 10.2 working in Virtualbox 
1.3.4 following this VMware note:

http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:VMware_-_USB_support

SDB:VMware - USB support
>From openSUSE


Version: 10.1


[edit]
Problem:

WMware doesn't recognize USB devices. That's because VMware (release 18.7.2006) 
only knows the usbfs.


[edit]
Solution:

within /etc/fstab change the following line:

usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0

to

usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs 
rw,devgid=1004,devmode=0660,busgid=1004,busmode=0770,listgid=1004,listmode=0660 
0 0 

edit-this line does not work, probably a bad entry for "devmode" try 
"devmode=0666"

assuming vboxusers group id is 1004

You also want to ensure you have the kernel-syms package before 
installing/reinstalling virtualbox 1.3.4.

Идея хорошая, можно добавить 
предупреждение пользователям openSuSE 10.2
- USB в VirtualBox не функционирует по причине 
отключения девелоперами в
ядре CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS.


In english:
 There are need to add warning - in openSuSE 10.2 as host USB support
will not work, because > CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS is no longer enabled, not
even as a module.
> I will inquire if this is wanted.
