Haven't been able to use VMWare Workstation since F11 when the kernel modules wouldn't build any more (that's when I switched to Virtual Box). KVM doesn't work unless your hardware has virtualization support, which my dual core Pentium 4 system does not (my Core Duo laptop and desktop at work do have hardware virtualization, and KVM works well on those systems). I plan to try Xen at some point but I doubt if it will be any better. The problem is that the device appears to be recognized just fine, but I can never establish a sync connection. Before anyone reminds me, I am aware that a Palm can be synced with Linux. Unfortunately we have a proprietary calendering application at work, and while the web interface to the calendar works fine with Linux/Firefox, the Palm conduits are only on Windoze, and the Palm calendar is useless to me if I can't sync it with my official work calendar (then I sync my Palm with Evolution so that I have my work calendar on Linux too). This is really a pain for me because this is the very last application I have that still requires me to maintain a native Windoze boot. So every time there is an update to anything having to do with VM, I always try this again but it has never worked. I'm guessing I could set up a VM that has a real IP address rather than using NAT, but the GUIs don't generally support this and I haven't yet learned how to create a VM or a virtual network from the command line. If I did that I could possibly sync to a VM via wireless instead of USB, but this is now wandering far from the original question. --Greg -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
