Re: [Xen-users] How do you give USB to a Windows domU?

["Nick Couchman" <Nick.Couchman@xxxxxxxxx>]

On Windows HVMs, the "usbdevice=tablet" takes up the one USB device that  you 
can forward through to the domU.  So, you have to disable that, then you can 
forward through a usb device.  You can use "usbdevice=host:xxx.yyy" or 
"usbdevice=host:aaaa:bbbb" - in the first case, it's the bus location where the 
device is plugged in; in the second case it's the vendor ID and device ID of 
the USB device.
