The limitation is due to xen config file parsing which accepts only a single value for the 'usbdevice' parameter. This is quite a problem, since this 1 device is often assigned to 'tablet' to make mouse absolute for windows. Multiple discussions can be found on this topic, and in particular the one here: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2009-03/msg00029.html also includes a workaround solution. I adopted this for the current xen 4.0.1 (see patch) and it works ok with a comma separated list of devices within a single string. The question in now, should not this part share the same config syntax as e.g. the vif devices ? That would be more natural.
