Any ideas?
Maybe the patch for the visor is conflicting with some other patch which suse has applied.
The "patch" involved is simply adding two lines to visor.c (to insert the "PALM_TUNGSTEN_T_ID" lines into the two relevant structs) and one to visor.h (to add the device id value). I don't quite see how this could conflict with something else, but then I know very little about it! What seemed more likely to me is that something more is needed to allow the linux box to talk to the new PalmOS 5 device. I'll try more research, but there doesn't seem to be much out there and what little there is suggests that these lines are all that is needed! I'm puzzled, and vexed to have to go back to booting Windows just to sync my Tungsten!
I would get a vanilla kernel, from kernel.org, apply the patch, compile and see if it works. If it dosn't work, then you know the patch isn't good. Even if a plain vanilla kernel dosn't have all the functionality you need, at least you will determine if the patch works for the visor.
Good idea - I'll try that when I get the chance. Thanks, John -- John Pettigrew Headstrong Games john@headstrong-games.co.uk Fun : Strategy : Price http://www.headstrong-games.co.uk/ Board games that won't break the bank Fields of Valour: 2 Norse clans battle on one of 3 different boards
