[Evolution] Can't sync Treo 180 USB with Evolution

[Thinker <thinker thoughtprogress com>]

Hello all,

I am running 

SuSE 8.2
Kernel 2.4.20-4GB
Evolution 1.4.3

KPilot 4.3.9 (BRANCH)
pilot-link 0.11.7
KDE 3.1.1
Qt 3.1.1
gnomepilot (not sure what version) 

I just installed SuSE 8.2 on my machine, and I was told that I could
sync my palm device (Handspring Treo 180/USB Cradle) with evolution.

When I tried this, nothing happened (other than an error message on my
Treo saying 'could not sync with computer, check connection and try
again').

When I open KPilot I get the message ...

Pilot device /dev/pilot doesn't exist. Assuming the device uses DevFS
Trying to open device ...
Could not open device: /dev/piot (will retry)

Thanks for any help, URLs, etc..
