Here is the description about how I made it work. It may help someone in
the future!
I made it worked by editing a ~/.coldsyncrc
listen usb {
device: /dev/ugen0;
}
and then the procedure is:
- launch coldsync
- plug the Visor
- press the HotSync button
- watch the screen of the Visor
you may have some problems with the rights on /dev/ugen* according to
the current user.
Phil.
