Complain to Palm about that one, it's the way the hardware was designed, we can not do a thing about that in Linux. > 2.

Are you running devfs? That's the only way "new" devices could "show up" in that location. But first, get the visor driver loaded, and then try. Remember, you need the latest version of pilot-link (from www.pilot-link.org) to talk to your device (the version that shipped with your distro is probably too old.) thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Influence the future of Java(TM) technology.
