I've found its better to leave the filters out of the initial setup and after starting xp, plug in usb device and then use the devices menu on the vbox window to enable the device. Another tip is to completely uninstall the suse virtual box, including the kernel module, as yast won't make you do so, before installing VirtualBox-1.5.4_27034_openSUSE102-1.i586.rpm . It contains everything it needs. It has a comprehensive help system too. Dave
Thanks, Dave, I should have expounded on removing the OSS version and driver first. I rmmod'd the driver, then rpm -e'd the virtualbox OSS rpm before I installed the 1.5.4 version. Thanks for reminding me. Now that I have it working, I will try your method, and see if "hot-plug" will work. It should, unless they have a bug in VB. I do think it is a bug for VB to not allow the serial access to ttyUSB0, but that is a subject for their forum, I guess.
