Hi,

it looks like it is not a bug, it is a feature ... ;)

The visor module is not loaded anymore after plug-in because it is
blacklisted in  /etc/modprobe.d/libpisock9. Well, and libpisock9 is some
userspace palm communication library, which could be used by pilot-xfer,
kpilot etc.

For example:
Instead of:
pilot-xfer -i Aus_meinem_Leben_Erster_Teil.pdb -p /dev/ttyUSB1
Use now:
pilot-xfer -i Aus_meinem_Leben_Erster_Teil.pdb -p usb:

I am bit suprised, that this works for normal users out of the box.
Previously, with the device you had to care about right permissions.
Thus,  does someone know, how to restrict access to the Palm Pilot from
userspace. I mean, if I am at a multi user computer, I don't want, that
every user is able to communicate with my palm after I attach it to a
usb port.

Hm, now I have to find out, how to get the pilot-link people to change
their linux readme: http://www.pilot-link.org/README.usb

It's not a wiki :(

Best regards
Georg Sauthoff
