You are lucky because i'm unable to sync with a TJ-25 sony clie with 
evolution. I have a fedora core 2 installed on my old laptop. So, i have not 
trouble with usb when i try to use gpilotd.But i can use my pilot with jpilot 
or with kpilot too.
So, i ask you how you have succeeded to use your pilot with evolution. 

Thanks.
