Hi, I'm trying to get the mapping to work correctly with my TomTom first, and I seem to be having a few problems. I've been able to create a filter within VirtualBox, and it appears to see the USB id of the device when creating the filter, although oddly I can't see anything in lsusb. At least I assume it's the correct device, as the only other thing I have connected via USB is my keyboard and VirtualBox is not taking control of that. However, the Windows XP guest never actually sees the device. Any pointers?
