Tried both vms, the linux one with both device-models, graphics as vga
passthrough and as secondary. No joy. If I pass all the devices I want,
really weird things happen like an eternal loop of "windows was not
booted correctly, rebooting" , or nothing showing on either the
passthrough screen or the vnc one. If I only pass a dead simple HP laser
mouse, the mouse does not do anything. If I get the time I'll dig into
hardware management in windows, and see if the device even shows up. I'm
starting to see ghosts now though, so I'm calling it quits for this
week, or this month or something. I could try vnc, now that I figured
out it is 'usbdevice=["tablet"]' (singular DEVICE, not plural ! ) , but
I'd also like to do some light gaming now that I shelled out for a
proper windows licence and all, so vnc is a bummer. </grumble>.

If anybody has some solid advice on passing through usb devices to hvm,
or passing through a pcie add-on usb card on Asus  Z10PE-D8 WS
motherboard, I'd like to hear from them though.
