This is where I had a few problems - I get lots of error messages when I connect the palm ("error getting string descriptor") with several beeps rather than the usual single "successful hotplug" beep. [snip] However, it is now working, despite the error messages.
OK, I was premature. It *mostly* works. Occasionally (usually on the second or third sync), it freezes my system - either just the current session or the whole machine, forcing a hard reset (on one occasion). What puzzles me is that the response is so variable - sometimes, I get a single beep on connecting the Tungsten, indicating a successful hotplug of the USB connection. Other times, it takes 3 beeps (corresponding to the three connections I've seen be tried in logfiles and reported here previously). Whichever, it will then connect and sync OK. However, occasionally, as I said, it stiffs the machine instead, when trying to connect. Anyhow, does anyone have any ideas? If not, I'll try to find a more specialised forum!
