Hello Al,
Would you please try the following and see what happens?
1. Connect your Treo to your computer via USB and turn it on
2. Open a Shell and log in as root (type in su and the root pwd)
3. Type in the following and see if visor shows up
lsmod | grep visor
-- if it does, proceed to step 5
-- if not, proceed to step 4
4. Type the following in the shell prompt
modprobe visor
-- you should not get errors
-- go to step 3 above
5. Type the following in the shell prompt
tail -f /var/log/messages
6. Press the HotSync button on your Treo and check the output in step 5
above. This will show you what the computer sees. The following is an
example:
May 6 07:43:49 localhost kernel: visor 1-1:1.0: Handspring Visor / Palm
OS converter detected
May 6 07:43:49 localhost kernel: usb 1-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS
converter now attached to ttyUSB0
May 6 07:43:49 localhost kernel: usb 1-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS
converter now attached to ttyUSB1
7. Type in /dev/ttyUSB1 in your J-Pilot preference tab under serial
port and click OK.
8. Re-load J-Pilot and cancel Hotsynch on the Treo (from step 6 above).
Press hotsynch on the Treo, wait 2 seconds, press hotsynch on J-Pilot.
You should here the device beep and start to synchronize.
9. If this doesn't work, let us know what happened and we will try to
trouble shoot. If this works, send money to Judd Montgomery.
Good luck, my friend!
