I am trying to use pilot-link with libusb to back up my Palm TX on a Fedora 8 box. I had this working with FC6 (but with a version of pilot-link that I had compiled myself), and it was indeed much faster than using the visor module. On F8 I'm trying to do it with the pilot-link rpm. As per the instructions, I've blacklisted the visor module, and it doesn't get loaded when I plug in my TX. I've put the udev rules from /usr/share/pilot-link/udev/60-libpisock.rules into /etc/udev/udev.d (replacing the dialup group with uucp). The rules seem to get loaded without any problems; /var/log/messages has "udevd[494]: parse_file: reading '/etc/udev/rules.d/60-libpisock.rules' as rules file" (I set udev logging to "debug"). And the system seems to recognize the TX when I plug in the usb cable, since I see the following show up in /proc/bus/usb/devices: T: Bus=01 Lev=02 Prnt=02 Port=03 Cnt=02 Dev#= 14 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=16 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0830 ProdID=0061 Rev= 1.00 S: Manufacturer=Palm, Inc.

But nothing happens when I press the sync button and eventually the TX times out. I can post all the udevd messages related to the TX if that would be useful, but I thought I'd ask first if anyone has this working on F8. Thanks, George
