I assume it's called visor.o, yeah, the module's insmod.

I pressed hotsync, then executed:

pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -l # it want's the port before the -l option

No go.  I see: Listening to port: /dev/ttyUSB0

Please press the Hotsync button now....

Then the palm returns the connection error. :(

I did press the hotsync on the cradle first.
