Hi Matt, in between it is all fine with your great help. My Sony Clie is properly working together with gnome-pilot and all syncs are running smoothly. The last problem I had to solve was that the calendar sync stopped somewhen in between. I solved this problem by doing a data reduction on my palm before and deleting the dates older than 6 month from now on my palm. Now all works fine. I really want to say thank you for this great help and I am now the more convinced that my change from Windows to Ubuntu was the right desicion. Thanks a lot Phil
