No, I'm afraid slowing the connection speed does not help. It won't synch with jpilot, coldsync, or pilot-xfer. Watching /var/log/messages shows the module (visor.c) linking up with ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1, but nothing else, until the module lets go of them. The devices exist (ttyUSB0 - ttyUSB3), permissions are 777. The modules install ok (visor, usbserial). I don't know where to go from here. How can I figure out what's stopping my Visor from syncing? I've done an experimental install of Redhat 7.3, and it syncs there, and in Windows 2000 on the same machine. Bret Keith Winston wrote:

I've got SuSE 7.3 installed on a Thinkpad T21. I have the Ultracam and my Visor Prism on the USB. Everything works on it's own.
I patched the modules to get the Ultracam to work, but changed no other settings from the stock kernel.
I've gone through the Visor Linux Howto, and the system will not work. All the modules load fine.
I can try a manual backup using coldsync or pilot-xfer, and both start, but do not complete. Jpilot starts a backup, but does not complete it, although it lists several databases as complete before it gives up.
The Visor always ends up presenting the dialog that says "The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop was lost. Some of your data was NOT backed up. Please check your setup and try again.". Jpilot never shows any of my schedule or Address book information. It just never makes it that far.
Try slowing down your sync speed to something like 19200, then if it works, try increasing it in steps until you find out where it breaks. Maybe slowing it down will help.
