[Evolution] Re: Clie synch problems

[Scott Otterson <scotto u washington edu>]

Alexandre,

My USB port must be mounted on USB1.  If I try

         pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -l

I get a "no such device message."  If I do the same with /dev/ttyUSB1,
then I get the message asking me to push the hotsync button.

But if I do so, nothing happens and the Clie times out.  However, the
port does seem to work.  In root, if I type:

 /sbin/lsusb

I do see the Clie on USB1 (message below)

It doesn't matter which port I use:  USB
