Nope - Palms work fine with linux, have for years. I sync my Tungsten T with SuSE 8.2 all the time. However, gnome-pilot is *not* as good as some of the others. For an easy sync, I'd recommend using JPilot, which calls pilot-link
Two things to note about SuSE 9.1. First off, there is no /dev/pilot device. So you have to create one by doing one of these as root "ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/pilot". If you do that and setup jpilot properly you can indeed get jpilot to work (although I wish I could figure out how to sync AvantGo under jpilot under SuSE 9.1.
When you do a sync using JPilot, do JPilot and the Palm both report a successful sync? If so, try visiting the JPilot list and report this - it might be a bug in JPilot.
No. It's a bug in gpilotd as implemented in SuSE 9.1. Jpilot is nice and everything, but I want to be syncing with Evolution so while jpilot is nice for backups it's unacceptable that gpilotd is crashing like this for seemingly no good reason since jpilot works fine. Preston
