I have downloaded the coldsync-3.0-pre4.tar.gz tarball and I can't find
the file README.libusb. Where can I find this file?

I have tried to disable the visor module by adding it to my blacklist
file:

  # grep visor /etc/hotplug/blacklist
  visor

I then started coldsync like before and watched the outout in
/var/log/messages:

  usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 15
  usb 2-2: USB disconnect, address 15

So, the visor module doesn't seem to be loaded anymore but I still
checked lsmod just in case:

  # lsmod | egrep '(usb|visor)'
  usbcore               111360  3 ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd

However, I still can't get coldsync to sync with my Palm Zire. This is
the output I get when running coldsync with the same options as before
(I stripped what seemed to be redundant):

  #  coldsync -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -t libusb -d IO:5 -d sync:5 -d misc:5 -d net:5 -v -v -v -mI
  ...
  Opening device [/dev/ttyUSB1]
  Please press the HotSync button.
  pconn_libusb_open: Can't open USB device.
  Error: Can't open connection.
  Freeing sync_config 0x80a3858
  ColdSync terminating normally

Any other ideas? Should other kernel modules be loaded instead of visor?
