I just installed Woody r1 (presumably, as I connected to sources on the net while installing, and it downloaded a lot of stuff). I included pilot-link, gnome-pilot, evolution, and the things they each said they depended on. The kernel is 2.2.20.
I have been running Redhat 7.3, and have been reliably synch'ing my Handspring Visor Prism for months. I know this works - I've been doing it. It's not happening with Debian so far though. I've appended some information at the end of this message. The visor modules reports as loaded, but the error message seems to say it's not. I'm not at all sure how to proceed from here. I've read the Visor mini-HowTo - that's how I got it working in Redhat. Nothing in that document seems relevant here - I followed all the steps again, and that doesn't seem to be it. This appears to be the relevant issue: Dec 20 10:50:37 ganesha /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: missing kernel or user mode driver visor lsmod says the visor modules is loaded. Directly attempting the hotsync with pilot-link, a la the HowTo, gets a message about pi_bind (sorry, I'm back in Redhat so I can write this mail). Any thoughts, please?
