A cron job? Something else in /etc/modules? Something distribution-specific? I'd rgrep /etc/ for visor and see what comes up. > Now I have another problem: a 700p which doesn't restore at all with > usbserial.

I don't think we've ever had a user with a 700p before using udev, so that entry may need to be updated so that libusb can hook in and handle it at connect time (likewise for the visor module, that'll need to be updated and rebuilt as well; it doesn't require a kernel rebuild, you can just build and install the patched module directly). > If people have ideas on getting libusb to work I'm happy to keep > trying for a couple of days, but fortunately they also gave me a fixed > 600 to fall back on. If you rmmod visor, cradle your Palm device, and hit HotSync... does the system log show any visor-related messages at all? If so, then I'd backtrack from there and see why. Also, make sure you're running a current version of udev. I'm running 108-0ubuntu4 here and it works great. You don't need the latest bleeding edge version (and DO NOT build it from source and try to install it yourself, you will break things). You just need something current. If you're still having trouble, catch me/us on irc and we'll help real-time; irc.pilot-link.org, port 6667 for cleartext, 994 for ircs. -- David A.
