[Bug 50981] Re: Palm synchronization unreliable

I wonder if there was something upgraded that caused the problem,
because I cannot sync with Zire 31 after installing Dapper this weekend.

I was using pilot-xfer and jpilot on Debian/Sarge, kernel 2.8.6.  I had
a line in the udev rules for it.  I checked the source for visor which
said the ID is 61.  I did this, because in the past I had to modify the
source and recompile visor.

I am using the same line from the udev rule I had on Debian.  I checked
with udevinfo and found that the the device is using the same thing that
/dev/pilot is linking to (/dev/ttyUSB1)  I checked the visor source code
in the 2.6.15-26 kernel and it is also showing the ID as 61.  I do
notice that /dev/pilot and the visor module are not present until I hit
Hotsync.  I think this used to occur when I simply plugged the device
in.  I get the error message that I need to tap Hotsync even though I
already have.  Cancel and repeat the Hotsync which had occasionally been
necessary in Debian, but that doesn't help.

I'm not using gnome-pilot, but just pilot-xfer; so the problem seems to
be not with gnome-pilot.  Where should this bug be filed?
