RE: [gentoo-user] SOMEWHAT OFF TOPIC -- Palm Tungsten E, and Google Calendar

[William Kenworthy]

The problem for me is that the device is created and destroyed when you
press the hotsync button.  Pilot sync and jpilot seem to depend on the
device being present all the time.

To get it to work reliably, you have to guess accurately when the device
is present and coordinate starting the sync (software) and pressing the
hot sync button - a fairly narrow window as it takes time for udev to
create the device.  I can sync reliably once I worked out the timing!
jpilot works well, but pilot sync requires cleaning out (kill the
process(es)) between syncs.

Yes its crap :(

and udev is supposed to be an advance?
