See my response to Scott.  I now have the USB devices being seen ... for 
better or worse.  Thanks for  your instructions.  They were helpful and 
understood, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't a better way to 
instruct my system.

The desktop installation I am using right now is recent -- since 
Oshogatsu.  I have two Debian and one *buntu installation using VBox.  
All were installed from .debs and all have the usb lines commented in 
automatically.  I know that I have installed from source a couple of 
times but that was in The Deep Dark Past.   I have a spare disk, but no 
time right now.  I'll put it on my "ToDo" list for later in the week, 
though.
