Comment 13 for bug 282491

I'm having a similar problem. My Palm Treo 755p synced just fine in 8.04, and now is broken in 8.10. I've tried all the old tricks (sudo modprobe visor, changing the /dev/pilot to the /dev/ttyUSB0/1/2) to no avail. It just hangs in Hotsync. It looks like lots of people are having similar issues:

Please please mark this as important! My bluetooth is also broken with Intrepid and there's not much I can do in terms of my calendar and addressbook (i.e., phone!) functions.
