Thanks for the hint, but the answer is not there, as it turns out.
Although the page suggests that the Zire 71 is included in the visor
driver in 2.4.20 and 2.4.22, it is in fact not there.  I added it
manually, by copying the code from
http://wiki.pilot-link.org/index.php/VisorStructures into visor.c and
visor.h, then doing a "make modules" and copying the resulting visor.o
into the /lib/modules... tree.  Now it works great.

I will be posting instructions to my website sometime :)
