Hi, all:
recently we got a problem, we use vmware view 4.6 for our product OS based on ubuntu 9.04, and it has usb redirect feature. Now we upgrade our OS based on 10.04 and 12.04, but neither of these OS can use usb redirect feature.
I grab some of log which 'vmware-view-usb' application made, and found some warning like this:
Jul 12 09:03:53.285: vmware-usb| Log for VMware Workstation pid=2996 version=7.1.0 build=build-636740 option=Release

I use the this command :
vmware-view --usb=inid:vid0x8564pid0x1000
My client version:
version 1.5.0, build 710491
I google a lot about this problem, but got no help, some of article say it must turn of USBFS option in kernel, but since 2.6.32(10.04 kernel version), this option is disaled, and udev take the job, I tried turn it on, and make all my usb device(keyboard, mouse etc...) not work. so this option shouldn`t be turn on anymore I guess.
Any help or idea will be appreciate, thanks.
