[Lilux-help] Syncing Palm TungstenT5 with Linux

Hello, I have trouble syncing a Palm Tungsten T5 with Linux (SuSE 9.2) So far I tried to follow advice found in several places (Linuxquestions.org, ...) where I find similar error-messages or behaviours, but no one of the suggested solutions worked. What I did so far (only those parts that are relevant): * Start the device -> creates /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 * chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB* * ln -s /dev/ttyUSB1 /dev/pilot * start jpilot * click "Sync" , hit "HotSync" button -> additional devices /dev/ttyUSB2 and /dev/ttyUSB3 created => Nothing happens -> quit everything In some place I found a hint that devices are created when hitting the HotSync button and tha ttherefore with USB, I need first to push the button on the device, then click "Sync" in jpilot I tried this, which gave me the following error: pi_accept Illegal seek Exiting with status SYNC_ERROR_PI_ACCEPT Finished Another document suggested trying to sync with the "pilot-xfer" command * Push "HotSync"button * chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB* * pilot-xfer -l Result: No $PILOTPORT specified and no -p <port> given. Defaulting to '/dev/pilot' Listening to port: /dev/pilot Please press the HotSync button now... Error accepting data on /dev/pilot Strangely, with this procedure I once succeded in syncing (the first time I tried the command), but after this, it did not work anymore. Is there anyone on this list able to help me out with this? BTW, how can I bypass the problem of the chmod command I need to repeat everytime I hit the Hotsync button, as the /dev/ttyUSBs are recreated everytime, with permissions set to 660 ?? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance, JJ Mouris
