Unable to add USB device

Hi,

Just tried that; no joy. The config file is updated but no change visible with "info usb" after stop/start of the VM.

Humm..

i also can't get a USB paging transmitter working inside a windows VM.

maybe it's again related to serial bus issues, because it is identified as COM5.

i posted in another thread that serial device passthrough also does not work 100%.

the vendor of the device does not want to support virtual environments, so again i'm in trouble...

how can i test the serial/USB problems to give more debug information?
 
Hi, Just a brief update to close my part in the thread:

The USB license dongle I was trying to use with USB passthrough to a WinXP Pro KVM host failed to work with ProxVE 1.3 and 1.4b

However, with the full release of ProxVE 1.4 (not beta) -- the passthrough works fine and the dongle is detected just fine in the WinXP VM.

So - maybe this is due to the newer version on KVM; or possibly some other thing which has changed from v1.4b to v.1.4 full -- but anyhow - it works now so I'm happy.
