Out of interest, is there any difference between BSD on Desktop PC and on a Laptop? I tried once to install BSD in a dual boot with XP on my Sony VAIO laptop, but it never entered into X, it directly took me to text-mode login. I couldn't fix that at that time and then I left it for another time and only relied on XP.
Thanks & Regards,
Patras

It's cool that they offer it. But it comes with XP Pro. Change that to XP Home and you save $50. Change that to Linux and it costs the same as XP Home. They are not passing the savings to the consumer. (1 Reply)

uvisor
UVISOR(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual UVISOR(4)
NAME
uvisor -- USB support for the PalmOS based PDAs
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device uvisor
device ucom
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
uvisor_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The uvisor driver provides support for USB based PalmOS PDAs, like Handspring Visor, Palm Mxxx series, and Sony Clie.
The device is accessed through the ucom(4) driver which makes it behave like a tty(4). The device has several ports for different purposes,
each of them gets its own ucom(4) device. The attach message describes the purpose of each port.
The usual Pilot tools can be used to access the attached device on the HotSync port.
HARDWARE
The uvisor driver supports the following devices:
o Aceeca Mez1000 RDA
o Handspring Treo
o Handspring Treo 600
o Handspring Visor
o Palm I705
o Palm M125
o Palm M130
o Palm M500
o Palm M505
o Palm M515
o Palm Tungsten T
o Palm Tungsten Z
o Palm Zire
o Palm Zire 31
o Sony Clie 4.0
o Sony Clie 4.1
o Sony Clie 5.0
o Sony Clie PEG-S500C
o Sony Clie NX60
o Sony Clie S360
o Sony Clie TJ37
SEE ALSO
tty(4), ucom(4), usb(4)
HISTORY
The uvisor driver was adopted from NetBSD 1.5 in August 2002. This manual page was adopted from NetBSD by Tom Rhodes <trhodes@FreeBSD.org>
at that time.
BUGS
The code to provide multiple ucom(4) instances has not yet been ported from NetBSD. It is unclear whether this driver works in its current
state.
