I want the USB request passed through to a WinXP VMware client which knows how to deal with Pilot devices better. Now, I see that "visor" is being loaded in FC4 (2.6.15-1.1831_FC4) despite being in the blacklist. I have to remove it manually. /var/log/messages below - shows connection of Treo and then timeout as no one responds. Any ideas what is happening here? How can I prevent Fedora from loading 'visor'? (Or better yet, a definitive expanation of how to get Treo communication working under Fedora! That hasn't worked for me for a long time.) TIA.
