I'll be able to do the tests you recommended in a day or two and I'll let
you know what happens - thanks.
On thinking it over again, and after a few more of my own experiments, I can't
see how my problem will be solved by re-booting. After all, that's not really
the LINUX way, is it :-)
I don't know what has changed, but with all the things I've tried, I'm now
getting a /dev/pilot device when I plug in the Palm. But niether it or
the /dev/ttyUSB* devices seem to be communicating with the Palm. Here's a bit
of output.
Notice that at first there's no /dev/pilot and I have USB 0, 1, 4 and 5. Don't
ask where 2 and 3 disappered to - I have no answer.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]$ ls -la /dev/pilot
ls: /dev/pilot: No such file or directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]$ ls -la /dev/ttyU*
crw-rw 1 solomon uucp 188, 0 Jul 6 00:16 /dev/ttyUSB0

crw-rw 1 solomon uucp 188, 5 Jul 6 05:31 /dev/ttyUSB5
Now I plug in the Palm and look what **magically** happens. I get
the /dev/pilot and USB 2 and 3 devices.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]$ ls -la /dev/pilot
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jul 7 23:06 /dev/pilot - /dev/ttyUSB3

crw-rw 1 solomon uucp 188, 0 Jul 6 00:16 /dev/ttyUSB0

crw-rw 1 solomon uucp 188, 2 Jul 7 23:06 /dev/ttyUSB2
crw-rw 1 solomon uucp 188, 3 Jul 7 23:06 /dev/ttyUSB3
crw-rw 1 solomon uucp 188, 4 Jul 6 05:31 /dev/ttyUSB4
crw-rw 1 solomon uucp 188, 5 Jul 6 05:31 /dev/ttyUSB5
But when I try pilot-xfer on the 2 new devices (/dev/pilot is really just a
link to /dev/ttyUSB3), nothing happens until I do Ctrl-Z.
BTW, it doesn't look like a permission problem because solomon is the owner
and has read and write permission on the relevant devices.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]$ pilot-xfer -p/dev/pilot -l
Listening to port: /dev/pilot
Please press the HotSync button now...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]$ pilot-xfer -p/dev/ttyUSB4 -l
Listening to port: /dev/ttyUSB4
Please press the HotSync button now...
Then I look at the devices again:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]$ ls -la /dev/ttyU*
crw-rw 1 solomon uucp 188, 0 Jul 6 00:16 /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw 1 solomon uucp 188, 1 Jul 6 00:16 /dev/ttyUSB1
crw-rw 1 solomon uucp 188, 2 Jul 7 23:09 /dev/ttyUSB2
crw-rw 1 solomon uucp 188, 3 Jul 7 23:09 /dev/ttyUSB3
crw-rw 1 solomon uucp 188, 4 Jul 6 05:31 /dev/ttyUSB4
crw-rw 1 solomon uucp 188, 5 Jul 6 05:31 /dev/ttyUSB5
And again after Hotsync times out - 2 and 3 are gone again.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]$ ls -la /dev/ttyU*
crw-rw 1 solomon uucp 188, 0 Jul 6 00:16 /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw 1 solomon uucp 188, 1 Jul 6 00:16 /dev/ttyUSB1
