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

[Alex Ramos <alexjramos yahoo com>]

I am having the same difficulty with the exact same symptoms.  I
purchased a serial cable and the synchronization works fine.  I would
love to figure out why the USB won't work.

Incidentally, I am running RedHat 9 with Evo 1.3.92 and gnome-pilot
2.0.9 from the Evolution Beta Channel.

Alex.
