Minor note: VMware, Windows, Palm, and HotSync
I’ve got Palm Desktop installed on XP running under VMware on my FC5
desktop. USB HotSync to my Tungsten C works if (1) you have focus on
the VMware window, and (2) you stop the visor module from loading.
Here’s the line that accomplishes (2), from /etc/modprobe.conf:
install visor /bin/true
Maybe not the absolute cleanest way; if someone knows a cleaner way to disable a module from loading automatically, let me know.
