SOLVED !!!(Re: Palm Zire 71 & Debian)
Okay, according to what I've found on Google (comp.sys.palmtops
2003-05-26 23:44:38 PST), a 2.4.20 kernel does not automatically links
visor and usbserial. [Stewart, which kernel do you use?]
The steps for a Zire 71 are :
- be sure /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 exist (/dev/pilot is only a link
to ttyUSB1) (it's more complicated for devfs, I don't use it)
- chmod a+rw /dev:ttyUSB*
The kernel must support USB, and especially USB serial and the Visor
module. The key is to tell usbserial which
(provided usbcore, usb-ohci or usb-uhci are already loaded) :
insmod usbserial vendor=0x830 product=0x60
insmod visor
"tail /var/log/kern.log" tells if it was successfull (opens ttyUSB0 and
1). Then I could launch (as a normal user) kpilot and make a backup. (But
I don't think I will Kpilot...)
I'll add the two modules in /etc/modules for the next reboot.
