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 ...

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

ln -s /dev/ttyUSB1 /dev/pilot

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