Hi,
Has anyone successfully synced Palm M5xx to Fedora?
I have read several (many) postings and Web sites.
I am using an M515 and the supplied USB / cradle
I have run the gnome pilot configurator and try to synchronise on dev/ttyUSB0 and / or dev/ttyUSB1 - then press the sync button on the cradle.
Eventually the Palm times out saying it cannot communicate with remote device - and the gnome configurator never proceeds beyond waiting for data on the USB.
Something is happening "low down" as can be seen from the following messages I have copied from dmesg.
Can anyone help?

Did you set the proper permissions on /dev/ttyUSB1?
As root:
chmod 0666 /dev/ttyUSB1
See if that helps.
