I have just reinstalled Mandrake 9 and this is the first time that I am
going to sync my Palm with Evolution. Even when you PDA is different
from mine, I guess this procedure should also work for you.
I will give you every single step that I take:
First of all, when I do a "ls /dev/usb" the only active USB port shown
is "hid", the one used by the mouse.
When I do a "ls /dev/usb" after placing the Palm on the cradle and
pressing the hotsync button, then two entries are shown: "hid" and
"tts".
I make sure to create as root the symbolic link /dev/pilot with:
ln -s /dev/usb/tts/0 /dev/pilot
Subdirectories 0 and 1 of tts only appear when you hit the hotsync
button on the cradle.
Next step is going to Evolution->Tools->Pilot Settings. A wizards
appears. Answer that this is the first time your going to use the
software with the Pilot. Press Next and press the hotsync button on the
cradle. It will recover the name and user id from the pilot. If it
fails, try again. Sometimes it takes three or four times to get this
info from the Pilot.
After passing previous step, you should see an open window where you can
define your conduit settings. Enable synchronizing ToDo, Calendar,
Contacts (I also enable Memos) and that's it.
Now, press again the hotsync button on the cradle and you should get the
data transfered to evolution.
