Mike -
You mentioned that you USB works for you on a XP guest VM running on a SuSE
9.1 host. I looked into the vmware.log and found that it is looking for:
May 13 12:56:31: vmx| USB: Unable to open "/proc/bus/usb/devices" (No such
file or directory).
May 13 12:56:31: vmx| USB: Unable to initialize USB Generic backend.
I was just wondering how you got it to work given SuSE 9.1 uses sysfs?
burgess@linux:/proc/bus/usb> ls -la
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 0 2004-05-13 12:46 .

Thanks!

I am running a Dell c840 laptop with SuSE 9.1 and the host OS and USB works
fine with an XP guest.

I, too, have VMWare 4.5 installed and running; but have not been able to get
the virtual machine (running XP Home) to talk to USB devices.
Has anyone got USB working?
