Hi,
Does Zire 72s work with linux? I have tried to use visor module as said on the
PalmOne's website and various discussion boards but have failed.
Any specific solution for SuSE 9.3 and kde 3.4.1?
The Zire 72 should work.
Try the following:
From the KDE System/Monitor menu run usbview.
Disable the kpilot daemon.
Plug the Zire in.
In one window, run dlpsh:

When it asks, press the hot sync button.
In another window, type dmesg. It should show you information on the
Zire.
The Zire should connect to dlpsh.
dmesg should show:
usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8
visor 1-2:1.0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter detected
usb 1-2: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB0
usb 1-2: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB1
If you connect, then kpilot should work although on my system at work,
the kpilot daemon crashes. (I prefer to use JPilot anyway).
If it fails to connect, one possibility is that you selected the wrong
port.
