Just a couple of things that I found with USB on a openSUSE host, guest on
vbox is win XP.
1. The OSe version supplied by Sun And openSUSE does not support USB.
You need to download and install the version from Sun's website with USB
support. Its free.
2. You must make a mod to FSTAB.
mine is:
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs
auto,busgid=1000,busmode=0775,devgid=1000,devmode=
0664 0 0
the 1000 is the ID of the virtualbox user.
3. you must mount usbfs prior to starting VirtualBox.
Hope this helps a little. This is all outlined in the VBox documentation. They
have a different mod for fstab that I never got to work. I found the above
mode on one of the Forums.
