"visor" kernel module

Hi,

I'm trying to synchronize my Palm PDA with my Slitaz 4 laptop.

I compiled pilot-link and jpilot without problems.

Now, according to the pilot-link readme, I need to load two kernel modules: usbserial and visor. The first one is found by modprobe but not the second.

Can you help please? (Will I have to compile this module myself?)

Thanks in advance.

tux@slitaz:~$ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep VISOR

# CONFIG_SYS_HYPERVISOR is not set

# CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_VISOR is not set

Re: "visor" kernel module

OK, so what?

How do I compile a single kernel module? Never did that.

(BTW, make menuconfig gives an error saying ncurses is missing, whereas packages ncurses, ncurses-dev, ncurses-common, ncursesw, and ncursesw-dev are installed. Do I need ncurses-extra also?)

Thanks
