Maybe such config file or a pc-usb2 machine specification would work then. > >> > If the guest is new enough that it has drivers you can also simply use >> > xhci. >> >> What xhci hub is emulated? > > nec. That seems to work with Windows 7, at least the real hardware. However, -device nec-usb-xhci -usbdevice host:0b95:772b -usbdevice tablet gives empy xhci bus and both devices attached to uhci bus which does not work. The example in usb2.txt only shows how to manually specify to which bus the usb devices are to be attached but there is no example of making usb devices just work. Thanks Michal
