    There's piles of traffic concerning USB palms out there. A lot of it
    has helped. Still, I'm stalemated. Hopefully someone can help me see
    through this last piece of ****.
      
    Status :
      
    Kernel 2.4.22. Has usb-uhci, usbserial, usbcore, visor modules support
    and active. Pilot-link 0.11.8. I'm on gnome2.2.
      
      
    My usb-related /var/log/messages on bootup:

    As root, I modproble the visor module, and the following is added
      
    (dmesg output)
    usbserial.c: USB Serial support registered for Handspring Visor / Treo
    / Palm 4.0 / Cli? 4.x
    usbserial.c: USB Serial support registered for Sony Cli? 3.5
    visor.c: USB HandSpring Visor, Palm m50x, Treo, Sony Cli? driver v1.7
      
      
      
    At this point, the output from lsmod looks like this:
      
      
    lsmod
    Module Size Used by Not tainted
    visor 10316 0 (unused)

    Looks good, right?
      
      
      
    When I press the hotsync button on the cradle, usbview shows the palm
    appear, displays the correct serial number, etc:

    >From this point, however, all palm applications stall. For example, if
    I hit the
     hotsync button and then run
      
            pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -l
      
    The message "Please press the HotSync buttno now" displays forever and
    then times out. Pressing the HotSync button (pavlov) does nothing.
    This occurs no matter
    which port I specify (/dev/palm and /dev/pilot both symlink to
    /dev/ttyUSB1)
      
    I kill the process with ctrl-c. Dmesg then shows

    I installed the lastest hotplug stuff, though I don't know how that
    would help if the system can't comm with the palm.
      
    Oh, and just incase there's a question about other conflicting
    processes, here's my ps -A:
