VMware uses host USB hid directly (including USB keyboard and mouse)

This article is an article by three netizens, but I haven't tried some things, so I listed their methods separately!
First, answer your questions:
1. Since my mouse can run under the virtual machine system, what should I do with this broken hid?
The difference is that this is a real hid, which can be found in the Device Manager. And it is powered by a real hid driver. I used to focus on this: a multimedia mouse in our company, including forward, backward, zoom in, zoom in, left roll, right roll, write driver, all windows drivers must be activated. Without this HID device in the virtual system, there is no way to simulate forward and backward ..., in this way, you must install a real system, from Windows 98 to 2008. What a complicated system is that...

You do not need software such as USB to Ethernet ctor. In addition, the performance of such software is not good, and the CPU is not good at a high point. What's more, cracking is useless. After n times of Google, I finally solved this problem. VMWare directly uses the host USB keyboard and mouse.
New: do not install the mouse driver in VM tools !!!
Add the following line to the virtual machine configuration file. vmx.
USB. Generic. allowhid = "true"
Start the VM and choose VM> removable from the menu.

My environment: Host XP SP2, vmvm 5.5, create two virtual machine equipment, respectively install Win2000 and WINXP-SP2 system. The second set of mouse and keyboard used are all USB interfaces. The two virtual machine devices were successfully tested. Compared with the previous use of some USB device sharing software to achieve one-to-two, the effect is better, simpler, and more stable.
My settings are as follows:
Step 1:
Add the following line to the device configuration file. vmx in the Virtual Machine folder.
USB. Generic. allowhid = "true"
Step 2:
Connect the second USB mouse and keyboard device.
Step 3:
Start the VM, choose Virtual Machine> Removable device> USB device> select the keyboard and mouse devices used in the VM.
Step 4:
In the displayed Properties window of the virtual machine, click Settings> advanced> troubleshooting window to reduce hardware acceleration by one or two. Then, you can see the pointer of the second set of mouse devices in the Virtual Machine window.
Make a correction:
The host mentioned that you should not install the mouse driver in VMware Tools in the virtual machine. This is not correct. To see the pointer of the second mouse device in the Virtual Machine window, the fourth step is very important, this has nothing to do with whether to install the mouse driver in VMware Tools.

1. I am using the latest 6.51 registration version.Http://www.soleilneon.com/blog/2008/11/vmware-651/
2. It can be installed in a 64-bit Vista system and runs fast in the dual-core athlon2.8g. The online and office services do not feel like virtual machines, but the viewing is still a bit discontinuous.
3. It may be a version relationship. I have either switched to VMware Tools or enabled hardware acceleration, or implemented a USB mouse and keyboard dedicated to virtual machines. However, I have failed, but the reason is not clear. We suggest you step by step, and install the virtual system to back up the backup, so as to avoid wasting time on reinstallation.
4. the actual name of the device configuration file. vmx is not necessarily the same. The suffix is. vmx. There is only one file, which is about 3 kb. Do not install VMware Tools after the basic system is complete. Add USB. Generic. allowhid = "true" to the statement and place it before USB: 0. Present = "true. After restarting, you can check the USB device and then install VMware Tools. The advantage is that the image and mouse are smoother. It is better to install it.
5. VMWare can install the ghostversion XP system of the computer company edition, but pay attention to some details, the focus is that you should regard the virtual machine as a computer. Why can't I press F2 into the system? Because I didn't click the boot Screen quickly, the focus is not on the Virtual Machine. F2 is regarded as the message of the host, which is a little difficult, multiple trials. Why does ghost fail because there is no partition on the hard disk of the VM and it is not formatted or activated. This can be solved by the pqpartition software attached to the computer company CD. Note that the menu of the PQ software activation partition is not an activation word, but an application s or something.

 

========================================================== ======
Here is how to install the multi-function USB mouse:
0. install XP SP3 in English and VMware Tools
1. Add "USB. Generic. allowhid =" true "" before "USB. Present =" true ""
2. Start XP and enable USB devices in the VMware menu
3. After the device is installed, set hardware acceleration to "maximum-1"
4. OK, the mouse can be completely moved, and the most real USB device is moved. In the Device Manager, you can find its shadow:
