You r right! I reinstalled virtualbox using its binary and having windows xp running as guest now. Great software, much better than vmware which is not stable and slow

one thing remain is USB.

I opted to not recompile the kernel and jump through all the hoops. When I plug in a USB device, usually a flash drive, KDE sees it but VirtualBox doesn't. I simply share the device with Samba and voila! VirtualBox now has access to it.

That solution works for me but might irritate the crap out of others on this list, so YMMV.

Just edit your fstab. Add *"#" *to your usb line, like this:

#usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0

Then add this line:

usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults,devmode=666 0 0

Save, exit and restart your pc! ;-)

Thanks for the tip, but... a small question... "restart"? "pc"? Since this is linux, and not that "pc" OS we all know so well, shouldn't it be enough to type: mount -oremount /proc/bus/usb ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, it's another way, I haven't tried it =)
