There's piles of traffic concerning USB palms out there. A lot of it
has helped. Still, I'm stalemated. Hopefully someone can help me see
through this last piece of ****.
Status :
Kernel 2.4.22. Has usb-uhci, usbserial, usbcore, visor modules support
and active. Pilot-link 0.11.8. I'm on gnome2.2.
My usb-related /var/log/messages on bootup:

As root, I modproble the visor module, and the following is added
(dmesg output)
usbserial.c: USB Serial support registered for Handspring Visor / Treo
/ Palm 4.0 / Cli? 4.x
usbserial.c: USB Serial support registered for Sony Cli? 3.5
visor.c: USB HandSpring Visor, Palm m50x, Treo, Sony Cli? driver v1.7
At this point, the output from lsmod looks like this:
lsmod

Looks good, right?
When I press the hotsync button on the cradle, usbview shows the palm
appear, displays the correct serial number, etc:

>From this point, however, all palm applications stall. For example, if
I hit the
hotsync button and then run
pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -l
The message "Please press the HotSync buttno now" displays forever and
then times out. Pressing the HotSync button (pavlov) does nothing.
This occurs no matter
which port I specify (/dev/palm and /dev/pilot both symlink to
/dev/ttyUSB1)
I kill the process with ctrl-c. Dmesg then shows

I installed the lastest hotplug stuff, though I don't know how that
would help if the system can't comm with the palm.
Oh, and just incase there's a question about other conflicting
processes, here's my ps -A:

There's no extraneous gpilotd or anything blocking the apps that I can
see.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks for reading this far :)
