No USB Support?

Post by waynel »

I don't seem to find USB support in the Device dialog window. There is no USB support in beta 1. Is this true?

Also, where can I find the vboxsf "driver" for Solaris, so as to mount shared holders?

Thanks.

You can mount shared folders just fine with the beta.

Last screenshot.
did you see that all files appear as size 0Bytes in the shared folder inside the VM? Could you read/write any files?
I couldn't open any files on a shared folder (all permissions set on the host side).
also browsing for network shares didn't work for me...

Yes, but I had no issues opening the files (as you can see in a screenshot I opened a jpg in mspaint).

Network shares wasn't an issue either.
