[SOLVED]VirtualBox USB not working

[smypee]

I installed VirtualBox from www.virtualbox.org (The closed source installation package, not the ebuild). I enabled USB in the Virtual machine settings for my WindowsXP installation. The USB host controller and hub was detected and installed upon startup in XP. But I never get to see any USB devices (e.g., a memory stick). I also did what the VirtualBox manual states in the troubleshooting section. Does anybody have VirtualBox running with working USB support?

I found out that one has really to make a filter for every USB device that is supposed to be visible inside the VM. The devices and its parameters can be listed using

If your main intention is to run winxp on virtual mashine on linux you could try Vmware Server.

EDIT:

Sorry didn't for some reason notice that you solved the problem.
