Not necessarily. Something is set up to respond to USB hotplug events. Maybe not properly. > OK - let me clarify somethig. USB4 and 5 was just an example.

Let's start from the very beginning. First, start from a clean known state. Either after a reboot, or try to rmmod both visor and usb-serial. Make sure you have no /dev/ttyUSB*. Then do 'dmesg -c' to clean the kernel's buffer (maybe into some file if you want to keep it). Then do the following things. After each of them, do 'dmesg -c' into a new file. This will let us see what the kernel says at each point. 1. Plug in your cable. 2. Connect the palm to it. 3. Press the hotsync button. 4. Wait until the palm times out. 5. Disconnect the palm from the cable. 6. Unplug the cable. Now do again all of 1-6 (to see what happens on a second time). I hope that the first time will only show USB0 and USB1, as it does for me. Maybe something in kde or kpilot keeps the device(s) open, and that's why on subsequent tries you get new devices. To try that, do all of this without KDE or something smart like it (try e.g. fvwm, wmaker etc. or even a text console if you feel comfortable enough in it). Now, assuming it does start with USB0 and 1, start again from a clean state, then, after you press the hotsync button, try pilot-xfer. First on USB0, then 1. Tell us what happend. -- Didi ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
