Yesterday I heard that VirtualBox 2.0 has entirely removed mention of USB for Solaris. The software does not offer any USB dialogs at all. If USB support is not working, then it makes sense to remove useless dialogs. Hopefully someone is working on getting the USB support working under Solaris. Some good news is that local filesystem access via the guest OS extensions is working properly now.
