Hi, Is there anyone on the list who is familiar with kpilot and palm pilots? I
have just bought a Tungsten T3 and am trying to set it up to run under FC2.
After connecting the device the var/log/messages seems to report Two usb
connections, one on ttyUSB0 and the other on ttyUSB1. (See log below) I've
tried both to no avail.
Kpilot log shows an attempt to connect to ttyUSB0, but says it is not
read-write. The commandline test as per the kpilot tests at the portal report
a similar lack of connection in the shell.
I've checked the KDE and kpilot sites and the kpilot user guide.
Does anyone have any hints?
Try ttyUSB1. Often if one does not work then the other will, and AFAIK
there as yet seems to be no way to predict which is correct so you have
a 50/50 chance on the first attempt.
This is discussed a lot on the jpilot list.
