The Palm has an serial connection.All ok When I startet to make an HotSync with the zire -usb- I got every time the message : no connection found. I didn`t find anything to change to make it work Hwinfo says: <b>Version:</b> KPilot 4.4.6 <b>Version:</b> pilot-link 0.11.8 <b>Version:</b> KDE 3.3.2 Level "a" <b>Version:</b> Qt 3.3.3 <qt><B>HotSync-Protokoll</B></qt> <b>15:10:45</b> KPilot D�on wird gestartet... <b>15:10:46</b> Der Status des D�ons ist "l�ft nicht" <b>15:10:47</b> Versuch das Ger� /dev/pilot zu �fnen... <b>15:10:47</b> <i>Ger� konnte nicht ge�fnet werden: /dev/pilot (wird erneut versucht)</i> I did : modprobe visor vendor=0x0830 product=0x0061 no error-messages.

Otto, In my searches for some info on this for a customer's Palm, I ran across a couple of things that might help. One, and these can be found in the SuSE searchable mail list archives, was to make the user a member of UUCP group. The second was changing the Kpilot settings to point to /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 or USB1. Since it makes or uses /dev/pilot when initially connected, many commented just making that a symlink to one of the ttyUSBx devices. You may have to try a couple to see which one works for you. ln -s /dev/usb/ttyUSBx /dev/pilot I haven't gotten a chance to try these yet, so report back on your progress. regards, Lee -- --- KMail v1.7.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!"

ln -s /dev/usb/ttyUSBx /dev/pilot

regards, Lee The user is in the uucp-group and you have to do ln -sf ... for /dev/pilot is already existent. Under win98SE it works ! :-((( And after Novell took over SuSE, its nearly impossible to find anything on the new Webside ,especially the Mailing-Lists archives. Maybee Im am to old now to play around with so much of advertizing !

Google is your friend, do a site search, e.g. site:lists.suse.com kpilot Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.8-24.10-default x86_64

Ok, well those parts are on the right track then. Which /dev/usb/ttyUSBx is /dev/kpilot pointing too though? You might have to try more than one to hit on the correct connection. Most of the mail I read showed some trying USB1, USB2, USB3, or USB0, so remake the link or point kpilot directly to them! Stating it works in Windows doesn't mean much here and many times using it on Windows will block it from working in Linux, even after a restart. Usually only a cold boot, will reset the USB ports. I've seen others mention problems of that nature. Here are the searchable mail list archives: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=suse-linux-e&r=1&w=2 Bookmark it, as it's always useful. As Scott mentioned too, Google is your friend and will help in a bind. :o) regards, Lee -- --- KMail v1.7.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!"
