I use Vbox on opensuse 11.0 with usb support provide by the SUN version. The
ose version does not support USB. Also on my version you must do a:
mount usbfs (no options)
before starting Vbox to get the usb to work.
My printer is a usb device and it shows in the Vbox manager but will not show
up in my guest (Win XP) unless I do the mount first. I also get an error
message on the start of the Vbox manager if I have not done the mount.
Don't know if this will help you.
