| It might help to see a usbmon log for 2.6.18 with CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND on.
| Instructions for usbmon are in the kernel source file
| Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt. Start copying the log before plugging in
| the Treo and keep it going while you try to use the device.
In a separate mail, please find usbmon-1t.txt, created using the suggested
instruction. The kernel only differed from the stock Debian kernel through
the required setting of CONFIG_DEBUG_FS.
The funny thing is that I could not trigger the ttyUBS1 / ttyUSB3
switch. Could the presence of usbmon alter the behaviour (Heisenbug ?)
visor.c is sort-of functional if you are careful:
i) Type the command, eg 'pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -l' but don't yet
press return
ii) On the device, select the hotsync app and press the HotSync logo
iii) Wait until the device displays the 'connecting to ...' text
iv) NOW press return on the shell
That works. Waiting too long before iv) also spoils it. Strange.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Dirk
