Re: [Xen-users] Does USB passthru require VT-d or IOMMU?

To answer my own question and for the records:

I solved my problem and I can now forward single USB devices by adding

usb=1
usbdevice = 'host:0123:4567'
usbdevice = 'host:89ab:cdef'

to the DomU configuration file. Initially, I tried

usb=1
usbdevice = [ 'host:0123:4567', 'host:89ab:cdef' ]

which seemed logical to me. But that syntax causes the error message I  
saw and no USB device will be forwarded. VT-d is not required for USB  
passthru.
