Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo, udev and Palm Tungsten T5

[Heinz Sporn]

Ok, let's see if I can remember how I got my Palm working .... ;-)

UDEV: /etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules
BUS="usb", SYSFS{serial}="PalmSN12345678", NAME="pilot", MODE="0666"

The MODE paramter is VERY important! There had been some changes in this
area recently.

And just to be sure add a permission
here: /etc/udev/permissions.d/10-udev.permissions
# Palm Tungsten E
# pilot*:root:usb:0666
BUS="usb", SYSFS{serial}="PalmSN12345678", NAME="pilot", MODE="0666"

My Tungsten E doesn't have a craddle but can be directly connected with
an USB cable. I had to enable USB Serial Converter support in my kernel
(CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_VISOR) for that to work.

I believe that's pretty much it.
