Unable to sync Treo VM 6.0 Host linux Client XP

Host: Suse 10.2

Client: win XP

6.0.0 build-45731

Problem[/b]: whenever try to sync: <The specified device appears to be claimed by another driver (visor[/b]) on the host operating system which means that the device may be in use. To continue, the device will first be disconnected from its current driver.>

Description:[/b]

1. I was able to sync one time after install VM 6.0

2. I can sync under SuSe using PalmPilot Tool

3. When I load the VM the PalmPilot tool is not load it. The usb is recognized by VM. I open a terminal under linux and I #rmmod visor. If I repeat the command the module is not present. Then I press the hotsync button and under VM the message indicated above shows up. Of course the visor device has been created again. I remove it as above and I try again and the same problems happens.

4. Summary: everytime I try to hotsyn under VM it creates the /dev/visor that do not allow to hotsync. I was able to hosync one time so I am missing something very obvious Smiley Sad

I appreciate any help.

Have all of you a good weekend.

To get around this in SuSE 10.1, I added

blacklist usbserial

blacklist visor

to /etc/modprobe.conf.local

I don't use openSUSE 10.2 but HTH.
