I read your previous post again and noticed that you're using kernel
2.4.3. You need to upgrade, since visor.o didn't support Palm m50x
until kernel 2.4.6 (I think).

When I press the HotSync button on the cradle, I see the following lines
appearing in your /var/log/messages:
kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned device number 20
(This "assigned device number" changes every time and is irrelevant)
kernel: usbserial.c: Palm M500 converter detected
(It should read M505 in your case -- after you upgrade your kernel)
kernel: visor.c: Palm M500: Number of ports: 2
kernel: visor.c: Palm M500: port 1, is for Generic use and is bound to ttyUSB0
kernel: visor.c: Palm M500: port 2, is for HotSync use and is bound to ttyUSB1
^^^^^^^
This is what I had in mind |||||||
kernel: usbserial.c: Palm M500 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for
devfs)
kernel: usbserial.c: Palm M500 converter now attached to ttyUSB1 (or usb/tts/1 for
devfs)
BTW the following two lines are
/etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Modprobe and setup visor for USB product 830/1/100
/etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Module setup visor for USB product 830/1/100
but these messages come from hotplug and are not strictly necessary.
Still, once you get coldsync working, it is quite convenient to create a
shell script named /etc/hotplug/usb/visor containing
#!/bin/sh
su your_username -c "coldsync"
and then coldsync will be started automatically whenever you press the
HotSync button.
