I'm attempting to get my Handspring Visor to work with Debian stable and I'm running into some errors that for the life of me I can't figure out. (somewhat lengthy post but I want to make sure I give as much data as possible)
Some info: Kernel: 2.4.25 Debian 3.0 (stable) All kernel configurations according to the HOWTO at Linuxpda.com have been completed. The USB devices work (I can verify if via 'usbview'). My issue is strange in that the visor works once in a while, but when it does and how and why seem to be completly random. For example, this morning I pushed the hotsynch button and typed in pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -l and I got a listing of the files. A few minutes later, I repeated it and got the same result. I then managed to do a KPilot backup, no problem. However, about ten minutes after that, I attempted to synch up again and it failed. I had made no changes whatsoever to the system. I double checked to make sure I'd killed the Kpilot daemon in case it was confusing things. No go. I rebooted the computer to get to the 'clean' state that I had the first time I tried to synch up. No go. The system recognizes the visor as seen in 'usbview' (shows my scanner, printer, and visor). It doesnt see it until I press the hotsynch button and it 'creates' the device, but I understand that's normal. When I do a pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -l I get the following responses: $ pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -l Listening to port: /dev/ttyUSB1 Please press the HotSync button now...

I get the same issues on both machines. That partially leads me to think that something is up with the Visor itself, but it HAS synched on a handful of occasions, and it always synchs on my Windows OS, so I'm hesitant to say that somethings up with the Visor itself. For the record I have used /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/pilot, /dev/visor, etc. I'm sort of lost as to where to go from here, thus any advice people can give would be greatly appreciated.
