tc2007 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I am seeing a lot of different posts related to Keyboard and mouse not working after installing OSX on VMWare using Donk's templates Just open the Darwin.vmx file in notepad and remove these 2 lines USB:1.deviceType = "hub" usb:1.present = "TRUE" * This solution is borrowed from another post. Putting it here so its more visible. Please make this a sticky.

tc2007 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 I berlieve that may render attaching USB devices non-functional; e.g. a USB key. I will check back with some details I got from VMware. Ok please let us know. When I remove and re-attach my creative usb x-mod sound card, VMWare does recognise it. I am also able to mount my usb stick etc. But VMWare crashes when I try to view videos or play sound when I attach my Creative USB sound to the guest OSX installation. Not sure if it is related somehow.

Are there any lines in the the vmware.log files.

tinyTNT Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 My previous comment was incorrect! There is a problem which has some similar settings changes for Fusion. Not sure of the crashes though. Are there any lines in the the vmware.log files. I seem to have fixed it by changing: USB:1.deviceType = "hub" usb:1.present = "TRUE" to USB:1.deviceType = "keyboard" usb:1.present = "TRUE" USB:2.deviceType = "hub" usb:2.present = "TRUE" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/145788-how-to-solve-keyboard-mouse-problem-with-donks-templates/#findComment-1124454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
