Linux calling Visor?

[NeilBlue]

Hello,

I posted a similar question in the Technical group, but now I find the probme is more general. I have Kernel 2.4.2 and I am running LM7.2.

When I use jpilot or malsync (gnome-pilot didn't connect at all), to connect to my Handspring Visor (Delux), I am able to read to the device, but any attempt to write to it seems to fail.

Does anyone else have this problem, or can anyone suggest what is going wrong here.

Thank you

Neil Blue

This could be something really simple (or not), see if you can write to it as root. If you can, you probably just don't have write access to the device .. I don't have a pda and don't know what device it would be on, if it's serial probably /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1, if it's usb I would have no clue, but you could make the group on the device something like 'visor' and add any users that need write permission to that group (and make sure to give the group write privelidges) .. First step though is to see if you can write to it as root.

I do indeed have a USB cradle, but sadley changnig the read/write permissions makes no difference :(

But thank you for the suggestion.

Did you check here (http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbvisor/)? The sourceforge websites usually have some good resources.

Thank you,

I needed a prod to look more carefuly at the HowTo.

It appears that I use the wrong UHCI option. I used the (JE) default option by mistake. Now it seems to work fine. :)

Cheers
