Palm pilot, by the moment, cannot sync apparently due to a bug on udev-0.58-1, FC4, which causes a huge delay on ttyUSB creation, moment by when palm is not polling for sync anymore. You can test it. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=161058 seems duplicate of: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=158809 Isnt that your problem?
