Another m130 user has experienced problems with F8; there is a thread
discussing this on pilot-link-general:
http://lists.pilot-link.org/pipermail/pilot-link-general/2008-May/003351.html
http://lists.pilot-link.org/pipermail/pilot-link-general/2008-June/003374.html

It seems very likely that this is an incompatibility between the
pilot-link libusb code and m130 handhelds (and therefore a problem with
libusb on all distributions), not a problem with the PolicyKit config in
F9.

This specific m130 issue is now in bugzilla at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449968

In the meantime m130 users may want to try dropping back to using the
visor module (see README.fedora, as others have mentioned).


In the course of the discussion the lead pilot-link developer also
implied that the LifeDrive is "unsupported":
http://lists.pilot-link.org/pipermail/pilot-link-general/2008-May/003364.html
(as I understand it, Palm hasn't publicly documented the magic
initialisation codes to stop the LifeDrive from going into drive mode
when connected by USB). Have you tried network hotsync using pilot-link?

cheers,

kev.
