Palm Pilot sync (again) to Fedora 2 (2.6.6)

[Clive Long]

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.
