Aqemu without USB support

Hi,
I have the problem that aqemu ist not able to get my USB ports.
I get the message box:

Could Not Get USB Information From System!
USB Support is Disabled.
Add Support proc FS TO YOUR Kernel

Of cause I add the proc FS to my system. :wink:

uname -a
Linux linux-158a 2.6.31.12-0.1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-01-27 08:20:11 +0100 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
AQEMU Debug [0] >>>
Sender: int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
Message: AQEMU Config Version: 0.7.3      

AQEMU Error [1] >>>
Sender: bool Ports_Tab_Widget::Get_All_Host_USB( QList<VM_USB> &usb_list )
Message: File /proc/bus/usb/devices no exists! USB information not found!   

>>> This is the problem but I am not able to find a solution for this. I thought that this is the path to the usb devices only in old distributions.

Any hint?
Thanks
Joerg

The relevant kernel configuration option is Device Drivers -> USB support -> USB device filesystem
