Hi,
I have a really strange problem using USB devices in a Windows Vista (32bit)
guest. After adding a USB device (an Adroid phone or a GPS navigation device)
to the guest, Vista starts to install the driver(s) for the new device just as
it would do on real hardware.
However, when it comes to actually use that device in the Windows application
that came with it (for example Samsung Kies in case of the Android phone),
those applications do not recognize the device and keep waiting for the device
to be connected forever.
Any idea how I could solve this problem?
Thanks...
Dirk

Could be that windows is seeing a USB 1 device while needing a USB 2.
You might solve this by passing through the devices explicitly; go to the Qemu console, and type USB-INFO(if I remember rightly) while the device is plugged in.
This will show you all connected devices, including vendor id etc.
Then add that device no and vendor ID to your qemu command line(in the right way, look at documentation/google) and pass it through explicitly, OR it may be solved by using ehci control to pass USB 2.
I know we had a similar problem about 6 months ago.
Ehci support in kvm-qemu should show up in google.

Thank you very much. I wasn't aware that KVM only adds a USB 1.x controller.
However, I have now been able to add an USB 2 controller, but the behaviour is
still same. Drivers are installed, applications do not recognize the devices.
Bye...
Dirk

This appears to be the same as https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1033727 , FWIW.

I've got exactly the same symptoms as Dirk. I'm using the same host
kernel, qemu-kvm 1.2.0 and both WinXP-32 and Win7-64 guests. I've tried
both "default"-USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 settings for the guest USB
controller. In all cases, Windows loads the device drivers, but the
software on the gust cannot "see" the device.
