Vendor and device IDs are listed in drivers/usb/serial/visor.h. Product
ID for M130 has been in the kernel since 2.4.19 atleast. 2.4.8 is fairly
ancient kernel. Try upgrading to 2.4.19 or newer. If you can't, you can
try adding M130 ID to visor.h as follows:

#define PALM_M130_ID                    0x0050

Recompile visor.o and try loading the new visor.o.
