Xen users - Jul 2012 - How to pass more then one USB device to HVM guest?

Hi, i am trying to pass two USB devices to my winxp domU guest.

The following:

    usbdevice = ''host:1d6b:0002''

OR

    usbdevice = ''host:04f3:0232''

works fine, but with only for one of this two devices.

Obvious thing

    usbdevice = [ ''host:1c4f:000e'',
''host:04f3:0232'' ]

is not working at all - xl complains about syntax error in the
configuration file.

Any hints (maybe, patches) how to pass two USB device simultaneously?

If you''re not bound to xl, I''ld try using xm instead.

Alternatively you may also be able to add additional usb devices at runtime
with "xl usb_add".

If it''s anything more than a keyboard and mouse though you may want to
investigate PCI Passthrough, since the HVM qemu-dm only yields USB 1.1.

This fellow posted something about a patch for the xm toolstack but I
didn''t give it a thorough read and I saw no code submitted:
