Dear friends, The avalaible releases of pilot-link, jpilot and all the packages that use those applications (i.e. kpilot) don't make USB sync to your computer under linux. But, the future releases will did and you can, with a few work, have it runing. This is the way I reached to have this runing in a system with Mandrake 8.2:
A) First of all, to have pilot-link runing with the usb palm conection. A1: Go to the http://www.pilot-link.org page and download the CVS and built it; I did it under Mandrake 8.2 using: ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/extra/pilot-head --with-perl5=no --with-python=no I had to "insmod visor" to test the pilot-xfer and create the simbolic link (ln -s /dev/usb/tts/0 /dev/pilot) but due to the using of usbthe sync button must be pressed before run the program because /dev/usb/tts/0 is created dinamycally). Now if you copy all the executable files to /usr/bin (do that as root) you will see that the conection is possible (try with "pilot-xfer /dev/ttyUSB0 -l and you will hear a eaven sound ^_^). B) Jpilot version 0.99.10 or lather beta release. B1. Go to the jpilot page and download the source of the beta. B2. configure using: ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-pilot-prefix=/usr/extra/pilot-head --with-ccoptions="-Wall -O2" then "make" finally "make install" Perhaps you do need to insmod the visor module. That run for me; now I can sync my palm m505 via the usb port, than is faster than the serial conection. Good luck! Francisco Alcaraz Murcia
