Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to get the Garnet VM to sync over USB.
I had trouble getting it to sync consistently with the Palm Desktop in Vista, and it would not sync at all via The Missing Sync on my Mac (which is my main computer). The biggest problem was getting the HotSync ID registered in the GVM.
Finally, this worked for me:

1. Create a Terminal script to enter your HotSync ID into your gvm.store file. I used Leafpad on my n810, but vim (within Terminal) and TextWrangler (Mac OS X) or Notepad (Windows) also work. My code:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/gvm/gvm -g gvm.store -O -z 1.5 -L 0x0000,0x0000,0x0000 -f -i D050 -a Filz -u "First Last:1234"

I saved this file as Filez.sh.

The -u option is the most important for setting your HotSync ID. The last four digits can just be "1234"--I found a four digit combo while trolling through Palm system files using Filez on my Palm TX.

The other options:
-g designates the name of the gvm.store file you wish to use--yes, you can create more than one

-O sets the rotation so that the GVM starts in tall portrait mode (i.e., you hold the NIT vertically with the camera end down)

-z is the zoom factor; here set to 1.5x

-L 0x0000,0x0000,0x000 opens the GVM with a black background

-f sets it to fullscreen

-i designates the device ID. D050 is the device ID for a Palm TX. You can find the link for other device ID's at: https://pdnet.palm.com/regac/pdn/Pal...8h-source.html
(Thanks, BoxofSnoo!)

-a is the name of the application you want to launch with the GVM. If not specified, you'll start in the default launcher. "Filz" is the four-letter code for Filez. I installed Filez, using the install button in the Garnet VM launcher, in all my gvm.store files. Filez will let you check your HotSync ID. Filez will also give you the "Creator Codes" for all the other applications you want to launch.

[As an aside, you can also set the device serial number with the -n option. If you set the -n and the -u options just like your old Palm device, then you can cause the PID in Mobipocket Reader to be the same as your old Palm's PID. This is important for those with paid Mobipocket Reader ebooks].


2. After you save your file with the "sh" extension, open X-Terminal and do:

cd /home/user/MyDocs

then:

chmod +x Filez.sh

This makes Filez.sh an executable file.


3. To run the code, then:

sh Filez.sh


4. Exit the GVM by hitting the escape button on your n8x0


5. Now, launch the GVM the ordinary way and, each time you do, you'll see that the HotSync ID is registered. This allowed me to get The Missing Sync to work finally!
