	That depends on your system configuration. I've never yet run 
the visor driver on a sytem where it wasn't already loaded. hotplug 
causes FAR too many problems with Palm devices, and that is exactly 
why we strongly recommend disabling it if you use a USB-connected 
Palm.

	Perhaps this will go away, since we're no longer using the 
visor module at all in 0.12.0 of pilot-link, and hopefully later 
versions as well. Of course, all of the userland supporting apps 
(J-Pilot, KPilot, gnome-pilot, etc.) have to be ported over to work 
with this new mechanism, but it is definately worth it for the 400% 
speed increase we're seeing.
