The visor stuff is pretty generic, and your palm is still a palm OS
device. It might pay to try the hints I gave previously. Your mileage
may vary. It is not evolution that supports the palm. It is the
conduit(s). The conduits operate over a serial driver. The USB is
represented as a serial device by the usb-serial driver.
So, once again:
evolution conduit talks with evolution database, and talks with palm
OS using serial handshaking.
usb-serial presents USB device as a serial interface (so conduit can
talk with ttyUSB1 as if it were a normal serial device).
Visor module smooths over the serial/usb bump.
/* USB HandSpring Visor, Palm m50x, and Sony Clie driver
* (supports all of the Palm OS USB devices)
*/
(above is quote from source code).
So, the guys who wrote Linux say give it a whirl.
