Kpilot can't find /dev/pilot I tried changing it to /dev/ttyS0 & 2 I'm using a ps2 mouse and I tried CUA0 but no luck. I did look for /dev/pilot with locate and it's not there. Any help would help.

make a soft link from /dev/ttySx to /dev/pilot, where X is the number of the serial port your Palm's cradle is attached to. Make sure to also change the permissions to 0666.
Wow! that was a fast reply, thanks but /dev/pilot is not there per using locate and scrolling through the dir I thought changing Kpilot from /dev/pilot to /dev/ttyS0 would work but it did not. The log file shows it's looking when I make a change but fails.
Thanks Tim...

As Ben stated above, create a symbolic link to /dev/pilot and make sure it has read/write access by issuing the following commands:
ln -s /dev/ttySx /dev/pilot - where x is the serial port # chmod 666 /dev/pilot
Hope this helps!

You forgot to specify what kind of Pilot you're using. The more recent ones connect via USB, and so you need to use ttyUSB0 or ttyUSB1 instead. (Plug it in and try to sync; then "dmesg" or /var/log/messages will tell you where it showed up.)
