Hello, I have recently tried connecting a Palm m130 device to the USB port for the first time and it doesn't appear to work with Cooker.
Having read the pilot-link web pages, how-tos, man pages etc. I was expecting to `lsmod' and see usbcore, usb-uhci, usbserial and visor. All I see is usbcore and usb-uhci. Pressing the Hot Sync button produces a KPilot icon on the KDe desktop. Pressing this launches KPilot which reports: 22:11:53 Trying to open device... 22:11:53 Could not open device: /dev/pilot (will retry) `lsmod' output is usbcore and usb-uhci /dev/pilot is a symbolic link to /dev/usb/tts/1 `modprobe'ing usbserial and visor make no difference at all `lsmod' produces the output: visor 10440 0 usbserial 21468 0 [visor] usb-uhci 24652 0 (unused) usbcore 72992 1 [usbdnet visor usbserial usb-uhci] The Pilot is connected via the cradle cable. It makes no difference if "Cradle/Cable" or "Direct USB/Serial" options are chosen on the Pilot before doing the Hot Sync. Running `addresses' outputs: No $PILOTPORT specified and no -p <port> given. Defaulting to '/dev/pilot' ERROR: No such device (19) Press the HotSync button first and relaunch this conduit.. Unable to bind to port: /dev/pilot So, how does KDE pick up the fact that there is a Palm attached when none of the USB modules know about it !!! None of the pilot-link programs can contact it. Could some one tell me how to get this device to work properly please :-) Thanks, Owen
