Tungsten T5 Problems

[Jeremy Coleman <jeremy coleman allaxia com>]

Hello,

I have a new Palm Tungsten T5, which seems to work with pilot-link, but
not with gnome-pilot.

The pilot setup "wizard" times out.

I am using Fedora FC3 (gnome-pilot-2.0.12-4, pilot-link-0.11.8-8)
(I recompiled the kernel, which is therefore: 2.6.9-prep)

I suspect the problem is related to the fact that when you hit the sync
button, the USB devices (/dev/ttyUSB*) get removed/recreated. (something
to do with udev/hotplug).

When I power on the PDA, the kernel detects the device: this is an
extract of /var/log/messages at the moment I power on the PDA:

----------------------------------

----------------------------------

Whenever I press hot-sync button this happens:

-----------------------------------

-----------------------------------

To get it to work with pilot-link, I have to run the programs a couple
of seconds after hitting the hotsync button, otherwise it doesn't work.

The commands I've tried are:

pilot-xfer --port /dev/ttyUSB1 --list
read-todos -p /dev/ttyUSB1
dlpsh -p /dev/ttyUSB1

They all seem to work (but gpilotd must not be running for them to
work).

Any ideas?

Thx
