I was following and trying many of the earlier suggestions to get jpilot to sync but have been unsuccessful. It previously worked for me with 8.0, jpilot 0.99 and a serial sync. I now am using a Palm Zire71 with USB cradle and cannot seem to get USB connection to work. Lsmod tells me that "usbcore" and "usb-ochi" modules are loaded, tail -f (from earlier suggestions) tells me that response to "usb-agent" is ...no USB modules for product 830/60/100. I found no reference to Zire or Zire 71 at the SuSE FAQ list or hardware DB. I did make some changes to files, following directions on SuSE FAQ for getting USB to work but have seen no change: sync seems not to establish comm with Zire and jpilot fails with message, "pi_bind invalid argument Check your serial port and settings exiting with status -10" I am a little lost about where to go from here or what to try next. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Richard

The version of the visor module (which handles PalmOS connections) supplied with 8.0 doesn't know about the Zire (they were produced after it was). The fix is reasonably simple - install the kernel sources from your discs, insert a couple of lines into visor.h and visor.c, and recompile the module. The detailed instructions are available on the net (I found the details as kernel.org, IIRC). Alternatively, you could upgrade to 8.2, which contains a sufficiently up-to-date visor module.
