I have not had any problems to sync the treo 700p (and before 650) with kpilot. Kpilot offer two choices kaddress and evolution. I use kaddress. It works very well. I am running suse 10.2 -=terry(Denver)=- On Mon, 2007-05-21 at 13:26 -0700, Simon Roberts wrote:

Nah, you're looking like a true geek!
She needs to have a working mechanism for syncing her palm device. I
Good bloody luck! I've had no end of difficulty trying to successfully and consistently sync various palm devices. This goes all the way back to me trying with my Palm III under Mandrake 6 in '99.
I'm not sure about gnome but in kde there are various options for synching - all which work to some degree of success. Your main issues are the user permissions to the usb virtual port that is created for palm - which is usually /dev/pilot but symlinks to /TTY/USB/USB1 or soemthinglikethat - and the timeouts on the palm device.
What Palm Pilot does she have?

Oh dear! I didn't think it would be that bad (and here's me hoping to get this working with a whinedoze mobile device too!)
The devices and permissions seem fine. It will run the core/original set of conduits. That is, it does "backup" etc. (I don't know where it puts the data, but it does the backup and a bunch of the other conduits that are enabled!)
However, it's the evolution-specific conduits that don't work. As I say, initially they weren't listed, then I discovered the files that represent them were present but in a directory other than where evolution was looking. Then I copied the files and they just don't seem to work, but don't give error messages.
I'm not at her place right now, but if memory serves, it's a Palm Z1 (cheap and cheerful, genuine Palm, about a year or so old, color screen).
Cheers, Simon
