Hm. Does anyone know if there are any differences between the KPilot install on SuSE and the one that comes with Knoppix 2.6? I ask, because I've had a similar problem. Running Knoppix on the same hardware, I could get KPilot to connect to my Sony Clie with no trouble (I didn't use /dev/pilot, I just adjusted KP to use /dev/ttyUSBx), but doing the exact same thing under SuSE 9.1Pro KP kept giving dieing on "could no open device" errors. This is one of those problems I haven't really done any serious work on yet, because I've got so many others with higher priority....
You might want to make sure that ttyUSBx is listed in /etc/resmgr.conf, as SuSE uses this (i.e. resource manager) to adjust permissions. I don't believe Knoppix uses it. I just upgraded my systems (home and work) to SuSE9.3. In the past, I had updated udev, but I specifically did not do that. One thing you need to do is to either place yourself into the uucp group or set the permissions to /dev/usb/ttyUSB1
I tried this at home last night after I completed the install. (I always do new installs to an empty partition so I can roll back). The first thing I did was dlpsh -p /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 Then I pressed the sync button, and the palm was detected successfully. I then synced up with my Treo650. Same here at work. Note that the Palm does not always come up as ttyUSB1 Also, the Treo used ttyUSB1 where some of the older palms use ttyUSB0. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
