Comment 2 for bug 108512

Lynoure: thanks for the input, that was the nudge I needed to get my thoughts together.

I found the "something simple" that I was missing. The solution was quite simple. I'm still using /dev/ttyUSB0 and 1.

Before starting gnome-pilot, open a terminal and type:

sudo modprobe visor

to load the visor module. Then start gnome-pilot and initiate sync from the cradle, as usual, and everything should work (it did for me).

I'll blame my failure to notice this earlier on being sick this week. :)
