Has anyone got a Palm Zire 71 working with linux? I bought one (cheap, by the way, from overstock.com) but can't get it working so far. I'm using kernel 2.4.20, whose visor.{c|h} module theoretically has the zire 71 built in, but the strong sense I'm getting is that it's not there for some reason. Note the syslog entry when I try to sync:
Nov 18 21:57:08 joehill kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:10.0-1, assigned address 6 Nov 18 21:57:08 joehill kernel: usb.c: USB device 6 (vend/prod 0x830/0x60) is not claimed by any active driver.

But when I try to connect to /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1, I get "no such device". Similarly with /dev/usb/tts/*.
According to http://wiki.pilot-link.org/index.php/VisorStructures I should find PALM_ZIRE71 in the sources for the visor module. But I don't:
joehill:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20/drivers/usb/serial# grep ZIRE71 visor.* joehill:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20/drivers/usb/serial# grep ZIRE71 * joehill:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20/drivers/usb/serial#
So something's odd here. This, by the way, is debian testing (sid) with home-compiled kernel 2.4.20. Thanks for any help.
