Re: USB / Gnome 2.2 / Tungsten T2

[dirkStone@excite.com (Dirk Aubrey)]

Okay! 

I updated hotplug, pilot-xfer, and gpilotd. Made sure gpilotd runs at
boot, then all the needed modprobes (usb-uhci, visor). Run something
like

  pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -l

it asks to press the hotsync button. I do, and the program runs.

It's all so simple -- after a couple month's worth of dicking around.
;)

Thanks to everyone for your help and tips.

I still have to test/run with kpilot, jpilot, or evolution. Right now
I'm just happy to get the things to talk with each other reasonably.

thanks again,
