I have a USB smartcard reader connected to a windows XP system. When I am accessing this system using the rdesktop Linux client, the windows system no longer "sees" the USB device, even though it's physically connected to the computer.

What do I have to do to get this to work?

Note that I am not talking about forwarding a local usb device to use it on the remote computer.

Have you tried rDesktop's -0 switch to attach to the XP console session (session 0)? – techie007 May 26 '11 at 15:51
@techie007: yes, does not help. – Nikratio May 26 '11 at 18:01
Does the device show up in device manager at all? – Waxhead Oct 23 '11 at 9:28
