VMware 6.5 XPguest unable sync Palm

[terryxela]

ref:

host: opensuse 11 64b

guest: winXP

upgrade from 6.0.3 to 6.5 using :VMware-Workstation-6.5.0-118166.x86_64.bundle

Problem: I can not sync the treo 700P using the Palm desktop. Connection usb.

Description: Under VM 6.0.3 I could sync OK. Occationally I have to try a couple of times or remove and reinsert the treo but the sync windows showed up.

Today I installed VM 6.5. Installation went wihout any problems. The palm is recognized and it connects. When I try to hot sync the usual events occur: there is a disconnection then it connects but the little hotsync window does not show up. I tried many times wihout luck. I unchecked the usb 2.O fast connection from the VM/settings and no help.

Of course I can go back to 6.0.3 but I love this new version with the perfect integration into the linux win evironment (kde/compiz-fusion). I appreciate any tips.

jasmelin,

thxs much,,,, it worked great!.

I have checked (as default) both:

Enable high speed support for usb 2.0 devices

Automatic connect usb devices

and it works OK.

It even worked in unity mode !!

All the best,
