gnomecc is the Gnome Control Center. It is available in the Mandrake
menu, or from a shell just enter 'gnomecc', you will then be able to
adjust your Palm settings in there.

You can adjust this setting in the Gnome CC and then use /dev/pilot
without the symlink you created.

Make sure the gpilot dameon is running, and nothing else (no jpilot, no
kpilot). To do that enter "ps -ef | grep pilot" in a shell and make sure
the only output is about gpilot.

Then from the gnomecc (or from Evolution -> Tools -> Pilot settings)
edit the pilot settings and hit "get from pilot" to get the pilot ID.
Then set some conduits to enable synching (for example EAddress will
synch your contacts with Evolution - you'll need the Mandrake packages
gnome-pilot-conduits and evolution-pilot).

If you're still in trouble, stop gpilot (and make sure it is stopped)
and try invoking pilot-xfer from a shell:
pilot-xfer -p /dev/usb/tts/1 -l
(it will list the files on your PDA)

Good luck,
