It works, have you seen this site
http://usbvisor.sourceforge.net/index.php3

I don't use my Visor often, but I think you plug it in _before_ launching 
jpilot.  Then click 'sync' from the app.  It helps to have a treminal window 
open running
# tail -f /var/log/messages

Also, make sure jpilot is loking at the right device

I made a link, /dev/pilot -> /dev/ttyUSB1

but for some reason, I have jpilot set to /dev/ttyUSB1, but the symlink 
should work equally.

Others here may have better advice
