I've gotten it somewhat work with RH8 and Evo 1.2. This is what I recall doing. I don't have the courage to try again from scratch. (How's that for a disclaimer?) - use pilot-xfer to backup the Visor - completely reset the Visor (left the batteries out for a while) - go through the Visor welcome screens (tap here, tap there, etc...) - place Visor in the cradle - from a terminal window type "gpilotd-control-applet" - don't try to run the wizard - get to where you can type in the settings yourself - on the Devices tab, set the port to /dev/ttyUSB1, set type to serial and speed can be >= 57600. - click Apply - go to the Pilots tab - click Add - press the Hot-sync button - click Send to Pilot (hopefully something happened) Note: you should see logging information in the terminal window you opened behind the Pilot Link window. This was what I used to kind of figure out what was going on. - If the last step worked, click Ok - restore the visor data using pilot-xfer. (The visor will still retain the Name and ID that was sent to it.) - in a terminal window type gpilotd-control-applet, you can configure your conduits now. (you did install the evolution-pilot package, right?) - at this point, press the hot-sync button and then click OK - if its going to work for you, you should see information scrolling in the terminal window
This is where I'm at now. For me to sync, I open a terminal window, press the hot-sync button, type gpilotd-control-applet and then click OK. It doesn't always work on the first try!! I'm waiting for a permanent fix. Todd On Sun, 2002-12-01 at 22:31, Harry Fine wrote: > Hi > > First time posting to this list, so I hope I'm clear.
