Or are you syncronizing to Evolution? Or something else? Increase the timeout to something like 40 or 100 in your gpilot-control-panel applet thingy. > To fix this, you should just press the hot synch button a little > before attempting the synch on the Linux side.

You must create the electrical connection from Palm to cradle, and then the cradle will connect itself to the desktop, which allows the kernel driver (visor) to bind itself to the usbserial/usb subsystem and give you access to the hardware from userland. You can't turn on a light, without screwing in a lightbulb, and USB devices are the same way. d.
