Okay, according to what I've found on Google (comp.sys.palmtops 2003-05-26 23:44:38 PST), a 2.4.20 kernel does not automatically links visor and usbserial. [Stewart, which kernel do you use?]
The steps for a Zire 71 are : - be sure /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 exist (/dev/pilot is only a link to ttyUSB1) (it's more complicated for devfs, I don't use it) - chmod a+rw /dev:ttyUSB* The kernel must support USB, and especially USB serial and the Visor module. The key is to tell usbserial which (provided usbcore, usb-ohci or usb-uhci are already loaded) : insmod usbserial vendor=0x830 product=0x60 insmod visor "tail /var/log/kern.log" tells if it was successfull (opens ttyUSB0 and 1). Then I could launch (as a normal user) kpilot and make a backup. (But I don't think I will Kpilot...) I'll add the two modules in /etc/modules for the next reboot. -- Christophe Courtois - Ostwald, Alsace, France http://www.courtois.cc/ - Clé PGP : 0F33E837 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Aucune race ne peut prospérer si elle n'apprend qu'il y a autant de dignité à cultiver son champ qu'à composer un poème.
