Connection PDA through virtual USB controller in Virtualbox

hi! i need some guideness for doing the connection with my pda device and usb controller in virtualbox

i ve found what to do on user guide of virtualbox. i'm placing the the specific part that i found in the page 49.here it is user manual of virtualbox:

  On Linux hosts, VirtualBox accesses USB devices on Linux through the usbfs file
system. Therefore, the user executing VirtualBox needs read and write permission to
the USB file system. Most distributions provide a group (e.g. usbusers) which the
VirtualBox user needs to be added to. Also, VirtualBox can only proxy to virtual ma-
chines USB devices which are not claimed by a Linux host USB driver. Please refer to
the Driver= entry in /proc/bus/usb/devices to see which devices are claimed.

in concole when i press lsusb it shows me the device (specific now HP iPAQ but i also have another Qtek 9000)

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 03f0:1c1d Hewlett-Packard

can PLS someone guide me because i dont understand how to do what i have to do to make it work!!

THANK you in ADVANCED.

PS: i would appreciate if it the help specific steps i have to do..

Re: Connection PDA through virtual USB controller in Virtualbox

I have no idea about virtual box, however you can do a great deal with PDA's natively under linux.

using synce you can install apps, browse files. It can even install from exe's using a tool called orange. Files can also be browsed through a vfs in kde. (and maybe gnome?). Syncing can be done with opensync.

The Virtualbox wiki page deals with USB setup very well IMO. It worked fine for me the last time I used it, and I expect it will work fine the next time too. smile

Yes, for USB support you need the PUEL edition.
