[Evolution] Cannot Syncronize Handspring Visor Deluxe and Evolution 1.2.2 (SuSE 8.2)

[Ernst Murnleitner <murlix awite de>]

Dear Evolution-users,

has anybody already syncronized with a Handspring Visor Deluxe (the
first handspring pda)? I have not installed gnome but only KDE. It does
not work: 

(Or have I messed something? Should I only press the hotsync button and
evolution will sync automatically?)

I cannot syncronize, and if I go into Pilot Settings, the gnome control
center appears. Here, I had added the device using /dev/ttyUSB1. At the
"pilot" I clicked on "vom Pilot empfangen" (Receive from Pilot). I get
the error message "the request to get pilot id failed" - anyway if I
press the hot sync button on the visor before or after click on the
button.

Here, what it writes into /var/log/messages:
(It seems that the device is prober recognized, isn't it?)

I would appreciate your help very much,
