Hi Jerome, these are the relevant entries from /var/log/messages:
Oct 16 12:06:28 mirage kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2,

This is after attempting a Hotsync. The Palm eventually returns an
error, saying it's unable to connect to the desktop. Running (after
pressing the HotSync button on the cradle):
chris@mirage:~$ coldsync -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -mb temp
Error: Can't open "/dev/ttyUSB1".
open: No such file or directory
chris@mirage:~$ coldsync -p /dev/pilot -mb temp
Error: Can't open "/dev/pilot".
open: No such file or directory
Error: Can't open connection.
Error: Can't open connection.
chris@mirage:~$ sudo pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -b temp
ERROR: No such file or directory
Unable to bind to port '/dev/ttyUSB1'
Please use --help for more information
chris@mirage:~$ sudo pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot -b temp
ERROR: No such file or directory
Unable to bind to port '/dev/pilot'
Please use --help for more information
Any thoughts? I appreciate your help
Thanks
Chris
