Been having problems with my Palm PDA syncing through Win2k running inside VMWare.
Here's the problem description:
Win2K sees the Palm device.
VMWare shows it attached to the USB (Even has a Check mark)
Added the usb.generic.skipsetconfig="true" line to the *.vmx file
But the PDA will NOT even begin to sync.
I get a message
"The specified device appears to be claimed by another driver (visor) on the host operating system which means that the device may be in use. To continue, the device will first be disconnected from its current driver."
I click on ok then nothing happens until the pda times out.
It works on the Linux host using Kpilot
I posted the problem on a VMWare forum - and the recommended solution is :
To disconnect the device from the host, you must unload the device driver. You can unload the driver manually as root (su)
using the rmmod command. Or, if the driver was automatically loaded by hotplug, you can disable it in the hotplug configuration
files in the /etc/hotplug directory. See your Linux distribution's documentation for details on editing these configuration files.
So it appears as though I should be able to disable loading visor etc and keep my Linux host from grabbing control.
I'm just not sure what file and line(s) I need to "adjust."

I must have missed the beginning of this thread.. I'm guessing you want to have one device that doesn't get automatically "loaded" when the device is plugged in.. is that correct? - jim On Tue, 21 Feb 2006 11:47:36 -0800 Dennis Bagley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Looking at the message again it says to just disable hotplug.
