USB and VMWare

USB and VMWare

Good afternoon.

I am running RH EL WS 3 update 5 and VMWare 5.0.  I have a PDA and a
CDLibrary I need to access from my WinXP guest OS but Red Hat captures
the USB device so I cannot see them from VMWare.  Does anyone have any
relevant experience that can help me resolve this?  VMWare support
recommends doing modprobe -r hid but this disables my mouse and
keyboard.  Is it possible to have a USB mouse and keyboard and still
access these other devices from the guest OS?  Lsusb yields:

Thanks for any suggestions you might have.
