Synching Palm Zire 31 with KPilot

Hello All,

Once upon a time, by chance, I was able to synch my Zire31 with Kontact thru Kpilot.
But then it never worked again ... :-(

I have the following issues right now:

1. Playing with link and unlink, I think I deleted the /dev/pilot .. this is the default device that KPilot will look for when synching. Is there a way to re-create it?

2. I know thru KDE System Information, that my Palm gets detected in the system in the USB hub in the motherboard, but which is the "real device" that is going to so to make the symbolic link to /dev/pilot (I guess would be "link /dev/pilot /dev/????")

3. How to manage USB devices?

Thanks ...

type

Code:

cat /var/log/dmesg |grep sd

if your pilot is the only usb drive it will probably be sda1, if not change this next part apropriately

Code:

ln -s /dev/sda1 /dev/pilot

For the 2.4 kernel series and a usb palm the link is
ln -s /dev/ttyUSB1 /dev/pilot

Thanks to all,

The symbolic link with /dev/ttyUSB1 did the trick,

thanks a lot,
