My best guess is that /dev/pilot isn't linked correctly; what's the output
of:
ls -l /dev/pilot

I have been trying for several days to get my palm to
sync over USB, with no success. My system is running
debian etch with the stock 2.6.12 kernel
(linux-image-2.6.12-1-686) to be precise.
When I tell my palm to HotSync, dmesg displays the
expected output:
------- snip -------
ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: wakeup

visor ttyUSB0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter

But pilot-xfer just hangs when trying to install
something:
------- snip -------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/palm/down$ pilot-xfer -i
PalmVNC.prc
No $PILOTPORT specified and no -p <port> given.
Defaulting to '/dev/pilot'
Listening to port: /dev/pilot
Please press the HotSync button now...

I have used the same palm (Tungsten C) with the same
cradle on several other computers (Windows and Mac
boxen) and they seem to have no problem talking. I
recall this not working either with the stock 2.6.8
kernel, but it *did* work with the 2.6.11 kernel.
Someone in #debian suggested that I make sure that the
bps settings on the pilot and the computer were set
correctly, and they were. 'cat /dev/ttyUSB0' shows
nothing. I vaguely remember it displaying several
garbage characters back when it was working.
So at this point I don't even know what to ask aside
from "how do I get this working?"
Cheers.
