	Which Treo?

	Why not use the released 0.1.71? Works fine here over USB.

	It works here, and I know it works for at least a few hundred other
people. Is the problem specific to your kernel (which should be 2.4.20 or
later)? Which device are you sync'ing to? Have you built gnome-pilot
yourself? Or are you using distro-supplied packages?

	Where is the backtrace from the segfault? What function does it die
on? Is your visor driver incremented to anything beyond 0?

	The cvs gnome-pilot doesn't work, since it is the beginnings of the
gnome2 port, and it hasn't been fully completed yet. Try 0.1.71 until jpr
says that the other port is completed.
