I just bought one for my wife and wanted to see if it would sync with our 9.1 system at home. I'm thinking I might get one for myself as well. I can't get it to work, however. The Palm pilot sees the computer but cannot hotsync. I've got the conduits that I want (I think) configured and the user id entered. However, I don't know what the other settings should be. I've looked at the SuSE help files, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to do everything it talks about. BTW I can't get it to work with Evolution either. If someone has some idiot proof directions, I would sure appreciate the help (I need it!). Thanks Jack

I have a Visor I sync USB and what worked for me was to fire up KPilot, go to Settings -> Configure KPilot and fix the device to point to the correct USB port. First time thru it took a bit of trial and error to get the right port (I wasn't sure which one it was plugged into and I have 6 USB ports, so I kept trying until it worked). Once that was done, put the Palm in the cradle and hotsync. It takes a second or so to get recognized, then hotsyncs away. Much much slower than the Palm hotsync that ships for Win, but it does work. Also note I do not use daemon mode, so I'm not sure how that works, I always manually fire up KPilot and get it running before I put the Palm in the cradle to hotsync.

I have a Palm Tungsten T and I have the device pointed to /dev/usb/ttyUSB0. At first, it pointed to some /dev/ttyUSB device (I tried all of them), but non of them did work. Now it works fine. Maybe you should try one of the Devices in /dev/usb/ . Where is your Kpilot setting pointing to? And what conduits do you have activated?

Ok. I had it at /dev/ttyUSB0 and that was the problem. I changed it to /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 and that worked. However, the Palm locked up during the HotSync! It says FATAL ALERT DataMgr.c, Line:7399, DmWrite: DMWriteCheck failed There's a little button to reset but it won't work. In fact nothing will. I can't turn it off with the power button or anything. Has anyone else had this happen? What did you do to fix it? I'm very close to taking it back and exchanging for a different one. Jack

Every time I've seen that error it was due to a corrupt database on the Palm itself or out of memory on the Palm. Hope you have a backup, you may need to hard reset then restore from the backup.

Jack With Evolution I had to increase the timeout (I went to 15).My deice is

That's what worked for me. With Kpilot I found that whatever I set the port to the log screen always said it was trying to use USB0. I gave up at that point because I had it working with Evolution. roger
