I am running ROS Hydro with Ubuntu 12.04 through VMWare Fusion in an iMac and I'm trying to get my Kinect (model 1414) to work thourgh OpenNI (I've installed openni-camera, openni-launch, and SensorKinect) but when I try to run rosrun rviz rviz or rosrun image_view image_view image:=/camera/rgb/image_color I get no image feed.
rostopic list gives me the normal list of published topics (camera/rgb/image_color, etc) but trying rostopic hz only shows "subscribed to [/camera/rgb/image_color]" and nothing else.
I read here that Kinect won't work well with a virtual machine, but VMWare is detecting the Kinect:

I also selected that Linux takes the Kinect connection instead of the Mac, so VMWare shows the following connections:
Microsoft Xbox NUI Audio, Microsoft Xbox NUI Motor, & Microsoft Xbox NUI Camera
Should I give up on VMWare and try a local installation or am I missing something in the Kinect/ROS/OpenNI installation? Thanks.
