Connected Reading list of databases in RAM and ROM... HST-CTig <a whole bunch of files on palm phone listed> List complete. 295 files found. Time elapsed: 0:00:08 I have figured out that there are 2 directories for gpilotd ~/.gnome/gnome-pilotd and ~/.gnome2/gnome-pilotd and I suspect that this has something to do with upgrade from FC-1 to FC-3 and evidently, configuration data is in .gnome2 subdirectory. after moving .gnome2/gnome-pilot.d to a backup and then restarting gpilotd-applet it takes me through a configuration that wants to retrieve username and id from palm for initial setup - which after some connect / disconnect worked - thanks - well, it worked once and hasn't connected again but it's progress. I rebooted on 2.6.9-1.667 which does work with USB visor. Obviously 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 doesn't and I will wait for updated kernel for the moment rather than install kernel-testing. Thanks for your help...it was the kind of spooky stuff I would see on Windows and not at all Linux like. Craig
