Tighten it up and all will be well.Ah, yes, oh master, I see the connectizoid is dangling by a participle, let me froozle it and life will be grand.I can't imagine that there is no one else with these problems, and I am curious how they can be solved.Tell us which problems and you might get a useful answer. Some things to consider: 1) USB devices don't exist in Linux until there's a signal on the bus; there isn't one with Visor/Clie/&c until you press hotsync. 2) look in the log file after pressing the button and you'll find out whether the kernel is recognizing that something happened and loading the proper module without errors. You'll also see what port the thing's going to show up at. 3) user-space programs won't work until the above is straightened out.I have created /dev/ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1, set them to 666, then symlinked ttyUSB1 to /dev/pilot. In KPilot, I have set the program to use /dev/pilot at 9600 baud. I hook up the hotsync block to the USB port, push the hotsync button, the Visor wakes, KPilot wakes, giving a desktop icon, I click it, and (Log file from KPilot) Version: KPilot 4.3.6 (3_1_BRANCH) Version: pilot-link 0.11.3 Version: KDE 3.1.0 Version: Qt 3.1.1 HotSync Log 21:26:39 Trying to open device... 21:26:39 Device link ready. 21:27:07 Can't accept Pilot (Connection timed out) Now, in /var/log/messages the following is being recorded: Feb 10 21:26:35 timmy2 kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus2/3, assigned device number 20 Feb 10 21:26:35 timmy2 kernel: usbserial.c: Handspring Visor converter detected Feb 10 21:26:35 timmy2 kernel: visor.c: Handspring Visor: Number of ports: 2 Feb 10 21:26:35 timmy2 kernel: visor.c: Handspring Visor: port 1, is for Generic use and is bound to ttyUSB0 Feb 10 21:26:35 timmy2 kernel: visor.c: Handspring Visor: port 2, is for HotSync use and is bound to ttyUSB1 Feb 10 21:26:35 timmy2 kernel: usbserial.c: Handspring Visor converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs) Feb 10 21:26:35 timmy2 kernel: usbserial.c: Handspring Visor converter now attached to ttyUSB1 (or usb/tts/1 for devfs) Feb 10 21:26:38 timmy2 /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup visor for USB product 82d/100/100 Feb 10 21:27:29 timmy2 kernel: usb.c: USB disconnect on device 20 Feb 10 21:27:29 timmy2 kernel: usbserial.c: Handspring Visor converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0 Feb 10 21:27:29 timmy2 kernel: usbserial.c: Handspring Visor converter now disconnected from ttyUSB1 The kernel messages are basically the same whether or not the Visor syncs. The problem that I have is that I can't figure out why KPilot syncs or fails to sync. Is there something that I am doing/have done/will do wrong? Why does it seem that I am so close to consistantly syncing yet so far away? Grasshopper
