Is it unusual to have more than one controller on a laptop? Venerable old Thinkpads had 2 or 3, and you could easily keep one for dom0 and the other(s) for sys-usb purposes. But you're not mistaken - if you only have 1 controller, you cant allocate that to a sys-usb while running from usb. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
