For what it's worth:
I have an old Handspring Visor. Worked perfectly w/ everything from Rehat
9 to FC 5. Now w/ Kubuntu feisty, it just won't sync.
Looking on the web, this is what I need to do everytime.
sudo /sbin/modprobe usbserial
sudo /sbin/modprobe visor
I use Jpilot (have always used it) and the sync is successful.
I tried all sorts of stuff w/ udev but only managed to screw up my system.
After I added the required file to /etc/udev/rules.d/ I could not login at
all. It turned out that /dev/null is being created w/ 600 perms instead of
666.
So now everytime I log on, I have to go to a virtual terminal w/
ctrl-alt-f2, login, hit ctrl-c, chmod /dev/null, go back w/ ctrl-alt-f7
and then I can login to kde.
Sad state of affairs this.
Feisty has been a major disappointment. I am sorely tempted to go back to
FC or maybe Debian testing.
regards, hth,
Sharukh.

You know how most packages say "Open here". What is the protocol if
the package says, "Open some-where else"?
