It has also worked for me in Sarge and Etch, but only with a 2.6.x kernel.
It will not work for a 2.4.x kernel, IIRC.  I use my Palm T2 and also my iPod 
on Etch and I do not need to mount the devices; Linux takes care of it.

On Etch, it works without hotplug, if udev is installed.

I also use VMware on my Etch system and can use my Palm T2 with that setup if 
I unload the visor module before I put the T2 in the cradle.  In Linux, I use 
kpilot and kpilot requires the visor module to work.
