Well! Boyz and girlz, you explain, 'cos I b****y can't. I've given up, right? But still: go to Synaptic, completely remove Gnome Pilot, Pilot-Xfer, install Gnome-Pilot. Sudo gedit, edit /etc/modules for the umpteenth time and add visor. Reboot. Ignore Evolution preferences, synchronisation options, add the Pilot applet to the task bar, and start trying every imaginable combination of device type, speed, timeout, etc, etc (remember, I have given up, 'cos I don't know what I'm b****y doing). When we reach "Cradle USB, Timeout 2, /dev/ttyUSB1, speed 57600" it syncs. Hmm, take out the battery (my backup battery is u/s, so this effectively formats the phone). Do it again..................... IT IS RESTORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't understand it, don't care! I am still prepared to teach young people how to make scones................(http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~bandjc/Rusty/Rusty.html#Marble_scones) even though I know next to nothing about personal computers, and less about Linux.
