I've just bought myself a new Palm Tungsten T. However, it isn't recognised by my system when I try to sync it. The connection is USB, and it worked perfectly with my old Visor.
When I try to sync, I get the following log details:
Mar 7 16:33:58 linux kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2/1, assigned device number 5 Mar 7 16:33:58 linux kernel: usb.c: USB device 5 (vend/prod 0x830/0x60) is not claimed by any active driver.
Does anyone know how to make the driver recognise this new device? SuSE 8.1, pilot-link 0.11.5
The "not claimed by any active driver" means there is no kernel support. You could try the various info programs for USB (usbview, etc.) to get as much exact info on your device, search the net for any info on that device, and with any luck you may find a kernel patch to allow that device to work. You would need to either apply the patch (usually won't work with a different source than plain IIANM) or do what I did and edit the source files to make the indicated changes. Then, you need to recompile your kernel. That is what I did some time back for my USB HD case (Scanlogic). YMMV.
