I use Red Carpet to keep my system up-to-date (although I haven't upgraded to RH 8.0 yet) and I have the following (pilot)packages installed: gnome-pilot-0.1.69-1.ximian.1 pilot-link-0.11.5-4.ximian.1 xpilot-4.4.3-5 gnome-pilot-conduits-0.10-1.ximian.1 evolution-pilot-1.2.0-1.ximian.1 pilot-link-devel-0.11.5-4.ximian.1 gnome-pilot-applet-0.1.69-1.ximian.1 gnome-pilot-devel-0.1.69-1.ximian.1 > If you do have support for this you need to open up the pilot capplet, > and produce a device on /dev/ttyUSB1 with USB type (NB /dev/ttyUSB0 is > also your palm, but not the hotsync channel).

Do you mean creating a device from the Pilot link section in the Gnome Control Panel? When I click the Pilot Link I first get the wizard and when I close that I have 4 tabs: Pilots / Devices / conduits / Advanced in devices I can press the add button which opens a window (Device Settings) with the following fields: Name: 'Set to Cradle' should be: usb? Port: 'set to /dev/pilot' should be /dev/ttyUSB1? Speed 'set to 57600' should be 115200? Timeout 'set to 2' ?? Type: 'Serial / USB / IrDA / Network' should be USB Do I have to start this wizard as root? I have tried to manually create the symlink with [root@localhost M8ram]# ln -s /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 /dev/pilot and [root@localhost M8ram]# ln -s /dev/ttyUSB1 /dev/pilot But that doesn't seem to help... Do I need to chgrp or chmod anything? /dev/ttyUSB1 has uucp as grp... Do I need to restart the gpilotd after changing anything like this? How would I do this?
