Re: gpilotd not working stable with my Clie SJ30

[Lars Weissflog <L RS-W DE>]

And another observation to add:
Seems to be sort of a Timing-Problem. If I manage to start the gpilotd
or pilot-xfer shortly after pressing sync on the Clie and BEFORE my
laptop beebs when the clie has fully connected, I get the Hotsync-Sound
from my clie shortly before the Laptop beebs. Thus, pilot-xfer or
gpilotd have to connect BEFORE the clie is fully recognized by the
visor-module. Can this be!?!?

Any ideas?

Regards Lars
