[coldsync-hackers] Trouble with USB and Visor on FreeBSD 4.9 Stable

[Joseph Young <josyoun at nmt dot edu>]

    Currently, I'm using two USB devices, a Logitech Trackball and a
Handspring Visor.  The trackball appears to work fine, but the Visor
does not.  If I boot without the Visor attempting to sync, only the
mouse appears in the boot log; booting with the Visor attempting to
sync, displays both.  After booting, in either case, usbdevs -dv shows
up blank, the trackball works correctly, but the Visor does not.
Further, if I attempt to hotsync, usbdevs -dv still appears blank. 

    Shouldn't usbdevs display both devices?  Further, if it doesn't, how
can I check that FreeBSD is recognizing the devices? 

    Here are some different outputs to help:

$ dmesg (generated when asking the Visor to hotsync during boot;
otherwise, the Visor doesn't show up)

The kernel config (I've tried this w/ and w/o ohci):

#device         ohci            # OHCI PCI->USB interface

$ usbdevs -dv (Same regardless of whether the Visor is attempting to
hotsync)
