Re: Sony Clie 675 with gpilot

[Bryan Bayerdorffer <bryan spd analog com>]

I link ALL the usb stuff statically in the kernel, and use the hotplug scripts 
(Debian).  This allows gpilotd to be left running, whence it catches the sync 
button.  Works for me with evolution.

I did have to hack visor.c, etc in 2.4.18 to support the NR70, but with later 
versions all should be well.
