This was just discussed, actually. Modify your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file, and find the line that says 'Option "Protocol" "PS/2"' and replace the PS/2 with IMPS/2... should read: Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" And add the following line, if you don't have it: Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" These lines are in the section related to mouse input, it's easy to find. > #3 Has anyone had any success in using the pilot syncro in gnome?

Open a terminal and run 'gpilotd-client -m' and try a sync (make sure you have a your device set to 9600 baud "Visor USB".. the device would be /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 ... syncing for the first time is a pain, and quite touchy.

Can't help here either, Ximian Gnome came with GnomeICU, so it already works for me ;P -- Matthew (Darkstorm) Bevan mbevan marginsoftware com Margin Software http://www.marginsoftware.com Re-inventing the wheel, every time.
