If so, which model and can you provide the steps you took to get it working? Thank you. Jason A little late getting to you, but I've had no trouble using KPilot and J-Pilot to sync up with my Tungsten E (beside an annoying problem with KPilot shrinking and desaturating any images I download with AvantGo). As mentioned previously, with J-Pilot you have to start the sync on your Tungsten, then select sync in J-Pilot. K-Pilot's daemon detects the device as soon as you start the sync from your device. Nevertheless, J-Pilot is my choice.

Jason I haven't don the T5, but from what I have read on the jpilot mailing list, you should not have any problems. You can use jpilot, k-pilot, or what ever you like. The biggest thing is that you have to specify /dev/pilot for the connection. The device will NOT show up untill you start the sync on the Palm, so don't worry if you get a message about the device not being found. With k-pilot, the connection daemon keeps retrying the device, waiting for you to hit the sync button, and takes it from there. With j-pilot, you have to start the sync on the Palm, and then click on the sync icon. (IF you take too long, the palm times out.) Mikkel Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Thank you. Jason I couldn't get j-pilot or kpilot to work more than occasionally on 10.1 on a toshiba. pilot-xfer works fine provided you hit hot sync and the cable button on the T5 before running it. I think hotplug maps it to /dev/pilot automatically.
