Here is the description about how I made it work. It may help someone in
the future!

I made it worked by editing a ~/.coldsyncrc

listen usb {
        device: /dev/ugen0;
}

and then the procedure is:
- launch coldsync
- plug the Visor
- press the HotSync button
- watch the screen of the Visor

you may have some problems with the rights on /dev/ugen* according to
the current user.

Phil.
