In SUSE 9.3, I had to create a link using ln to my usb device. Check out dmesg just after you press the HotSync button.
We are a software development company which develops application that runs on a few platforms. Currently it runs...
$ dmesg grep -i usb
By default, most Linux synchronization software looks for the HotSync port ondev-pilot, so the first thing you'll want to do is make a hard link (using the ln command).
You may need to make a directory indev for pilot.
following words to the mbuttes incomp.os.linux.misc...: Hmm... You're using a swapfile rather than a swap parbreastion? These three would...
$ cddev$ mkdir pilot
Create a link todev-pilot like so:
$ lndev-usb0dev-pilot
Make sure you use whatever device you actually found in dmesg. If you didn't see anything, use "dmesgtail" instead of grep.
Enter the command ls -ldev-pilot to ensure you set the link correctly. If you receive an error message, make sure you are logged on as root.
Once you've created thedev-pilot link, try a simple command to tell whether you've got your Palm talking to Linux. Place the Palm in its cradle, make sure the cradle is connected, and enter the command pilot-xfer -l.
Accept the prompt to press the HotSync button on your Palm's cradle to get a list of the databases and programs installed on the Palm.
Possibly useful links that may be irrelevant: ------------------------------------------
"JPilot" seems to be fairly well thought of. (And in spite of its name, it is not Java based, should that put you off.)
