By setting "ralvy" in /etc/udev/rules.d wouldn't this limit it to only
one user?. Maybe something like `whoami` might work
As for suggestions for folks with problems. Check to make sure the
modules visor is mounted "lsmod | grep visor" when it is called by the
HOT SYNC button. Then check "lsusb" to make sure the USB system knows
about it. at that point here pressing the Sync button on Jpilot works
ever time.
