Hey all, the results are in!
My Handspring Visor Prism was able to sync to my linux machine just now. I am using a serial cradle, purchased separately. I'm running RedHat linux with kernel 2.4.9-12 (latest RedHat kernel) I'm using pilot-link ver 0.9.3 from http://www.daveltd.com/pilot/PalmOS/ and jpilot ver 0.99 (I think I installed it from the RedHat Workstation CD, but you can also get it at http://www.jpilot.org) I've not tried the USB cradle yet (which comes standard with the Handspring) I ran jpilot, did a sync, and the address book and appointment information that was on the Handspring is now viewable in the jpilot GUI on Linux. I was having a lot of problems getting everything up to the point it is now: RedHat's web update was not updating my lilo.conf file for some reason, so I had to manually fix that. ARGH! I had the latest kernel installed, but lilo wasn't loading it. I have to run pilot-link (and therefore jpilot) as root. I have a permissions problem as a regular user in accessing /dev/ttyS0. I tried fixing it with linuxconf, but I get when I try to run it, I get: Error message from remadmin :Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Error message from remadmin :Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to ServerError message from remadmin : Error message from remadmin :Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0 arghh!! I haven't worked around that one yet. also, I bought this tiny camera module that plugs into the Handspring. I dont think jpilot is syncing the pictures to Linux, since I had to install additional software in Windows to do a sync with the camera. I haven't confirmed Linux doesn't sync, though, so I'm going to poke around a bit. finally, my PC's clock has been messed up and I've never been able to get it right, so when I do a sync, jpilot sets my Handspring to the PC time. arghhh! anyway, it works.
