The USB-under-VMware problem solution is in the same message you quoted above. In Host Settings, CLick on Add then choose USB as I recall (I am not at that machine right now). Then VM => removable devices => USB (I think) => Select the USB device from the list of detected devices.
Hope this helps, Lucky Leavell
Thank for the answer
well my problem is slightly different because my usb menu is empty ... I need the usb support for my gps-navigator management... ha the Linux way is really hard, too much trap
If you're running openSUSE 10.2 (or 10.1? I forget in which USBFS was disabled), then you're out of luck unless you're willing to rebuild your kernel with USBFS enabled.

the problem *is* USBFS! older threads just passed the buck between the kernel and vmaware, then some kind soul provided the workaround: as root type in a console: mount -t usbfs /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb after that all usb devices appear in vmware and you can manually control "connecting" and disconnecting to them. don't know how to make this automatic, if you reboot you will have to re-type it. perhaps one of the gurus on the list can help do that. d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
