Question Virtualbox OSE and USB devices


I recently installed VirtualBox OSE onto my multilib Slackware64 13.37 system. It keeps saying it can not detect the USB system.

Anyone know if there's a kernel module I need to load or something to detect the USB devices on my system for usage with VirtualBox?

The OSE VirtualBox doesn't support usb. If you want usb then install the PUEL version.

Ah, didn't know that. I figured it at least had some basic level support. Oh well. I'll grab the AMD64 version for All Distributions on their page. Thanks.
