It's a tricky thing to get to work, I know... |

The weird way the syncing works is that the device will only show up as |
| 9 |
a serial device (ttyUSBx and x+1 usually, for some reason I don't really |
| 10 |
understand it's actually two ports) for a few seconds after pressing the |
| 11 |
sync button. Try "tail -f /var/log/messages" or whatever your catchall |
| 12 |
syslog is while the cradle is plugged in, then press the button and see |
| 13 |
if something shows up. |

I have the following in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-pilot.rules: |
| 16 |
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{manufacturer}=="Handspring*", NAME="pilot%n", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev", SYMLINK+="%k" |

This works OK with my Visor and the Gnome pilot-conduits/gpilotd. |
