What host controller do you have, OHCI? There have been some "problems"
with OHCI and the Visor in the past.
You should try the latest kernel version (2.4.0-test3-pre?). I have
fixed some minor issues and added a lot more debugging output to try to
track down this problem.
Another thing to try would be to use coldsync instead of pilot-xfer
(works much better for me.) If you want to stick with pilot-xfer, I
posted a simple hack to the source that also seems to clear up the
problem.
If you still have problems after trying these suggestions, please let me
/ the list know.
There is also a separate usbvisor mailing list, that might be able to
help you out in much more detail (it's also worth looking through the
archive for answers to common problems.) Info on joining it can be found
at http://usbvisor.sourceforge.net/
About the /proc/bus/usb/devices file, check out the FAQ at
http://www.linux-usb.org/FAQ.html ... um wait, that question isn't in
there... it should be...
You have to mount the usbdevfs file system. Try:
mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb
Then the devices file should show up (need to do this _after_ the
usbcore module is loaded.)
Hope this helps,
