I just checked mine and it has:
KERNEL=="vboxdrv", NAME="vboxdrv", OWNER="root", GROUP="root",
MODE="0600"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", GROUP="vboxusers", MODE="0664"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device",
GROUP="vboxusers", MODE="0664"
should I change the Kernel line group to vboxusers? I'm works as long as I
mount usbfs first.
Thanks for any response.
