Did you try this? (I don't use vmware) # rmmod usb-uhci # rmmod usb-ohci ... vmware ... # modprobe usb-uhci # modprobe usb-ohci a) run /sbin/lsmod first and see what drivers you have loaded. b) the driver that you are using can be called uhci. But it's not default on RH, IIRC. Removal of the host controller driver will be equivalent to disconnecting all your USB devices in Linux. Later, loading the module will cause all the devices to be detected again. Dmitri
