Hi all!
I have two questions concerning my Sony Cliie. In the old days of kernel 2.4 I would simply add usbserial, visor,and usb-storage to my /etc/modules files (I used to use ALT Linux 2.2). For synchroniztion purposes I'd use /dev/ttyUSB0, and for MS Import application on CLie I'd just mount the flash card as /dev/sda1 - and it all worked.
I have by now spent about 20 hours to try to figure out why it doesn't work in Fedora 2. Could someone care for a step-by-step instructions or just a link as to how to set it all ip?
Using lsusb i can actually see devices appearing,but cannot do a damn thing with them.
Thanks is advance.

Hi. I have no idea of what to do but I'm also interested on this subject because I just bought a Sony Clie, so if anyone would be kind enough to help us... Thanks.

See if this is of any use: http://www.metacon.ca/bcs/view.php?page=linux -- keep in mind that for a Clie, the /dev/ttyUSB0/1 assignation might be different than on a PalmOne device.

I am using FC 2 and have an NX-70V, which I connect to and synch with a Dell 5150 laptop using the USB cradle.
For synching, I use /dev/ttyUSB1 along with Evolution. You need to be sure to change the permissions (as root) on that device to:
# chmod 0666 /dev/ttyUSB1
For connecting to the MS, I have the following entry in my /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/clie vfat noauto,user,rw 0 0
Put the above into your /etc/fstab and run (again as root):
/usr/sbin/updfstab
Be sure to actually create the mount point (again as root):
# mkdir /mnt/clie
With that done, you should be able to Connect the MS Import program on the Clie and then use:
$ mount /mnt/clie
and then use whatever filemanager you use or the command line to review /mnt/clie:
$ ls /mnt/clie dcim memstick.ind mq_root mstk_pro.ind palm
BTW, I presume that you are aware that Sony has announced the demise of the Clie line in the U.S. and Europe in deference to converged PDA/cell phone devices....:

Hi,
My thanks goto Mark Schwartz for helpingto sortme it all out.
I chose syncinig with j-pilot, and that'show I did it:
The device turned out to be at /dev/ttyUSB1, so I did a chmod 0666 /dev/ttyUSB1
and it basically worked.
As for the external MS card and MSImport application it turned out important to have the following lines in modprobe.conf:
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
One of thos was missing in my initial setup.
After that put the following entry in /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/clie vfat noauto,user,rw 0 0
As root run /usr/sbin/updfstab
mkdir /mnt/clie
And you're all set. It even automounts.
The only remaining problemwith syncronization isthat localeon FC2 for Russians is ru_RU.UTF-8, and j-pilot 0.99.7 doesn't suggest the option of recoding Host UTF-8 - Palm windows-1251 (or koi8-r for that matter). I filed a bug for them and hope it'll be available sometime soon.

So sad what it's works only with CLIE. Old Palm's like m5xx and Tungsten series haven't something like MSImport so I can't mount my SD/MMC card.

Realy gnome-pilot provides much more usable interface. And integration with evolution is a big plus too. But gnome-pilot know nothig about 'charsets', 'encodings' etc.
