Kickstart with PalmPilot please?
Hi all, I have a Palm device (actually a sony clie) but I'm failing to get any of the Linux (SuSE 9.3) software to work with it. If it's attached, and I hit the hotsync button, I get an entry in /proc/bus/usb indicating that appears to indicate that the device has been seen at that level: T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=02 Dev#= 21 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=16 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=054c ProdID=0066 Rev= 1.00 S: Manufacturer=Palm, Inc. S: Product=Palm Handheld C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=c0 MxPwr= 2mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 4 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=visor E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 16 Ivl=0ms E: Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 16 Ivl=0ms E: Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms E: Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms However, neither gnome-pilot nor Kpilot seem to be able to find it. I've tried telling them to use /dev/ttyUSB2, /dev/ttyUSB3 (which devices actually seem to exist) and I did a mknod to create /dev/ttyUSB0 (same major device as the other two ttyUSB devices, minor node 0) that didn't work either (though interestingly, the device disappeared without my help?) Anyway, I'm a bit at a loss for where to look, or what to try. What documents might help, or are there any suggestions? Thanks, Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.

Aha, found it. Based on instructions given in a blog that's referred to from the kpilot.org page, I created an a file /etc/udev/rules.d/11-visor.rules that contains: BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL="ttyUSB[13579]", SYMLINK="pilot" After rebooting, I find that I can sync using the device name "/dev/pilot" which magically appears when the hotsync button is pressed.
