Hi All:

I have a Palm M515 that doesn't want to sync.  But it works on this
machine when I boot to MsWin.  I have selected /dev/pilot,
/dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 in the Gnome-Pilot settings.  I can
see the Palm is attached from the log files below. I don't know why
it isn't working.

The devices are being made:

me at hostname:/dev$ ls -l ttyUS*
crw-rw----  1 root dialout 188, 0 2005-07-19 13:14 ttyUSB0
crw-rw----  1 root dialout 188, 1 2005-07-19 13:14 ttyUSB1
me at hostname:/dev$

And I've confirmed that I am in the dialout group.  So what's going
on?  Why can't I sync my Palm?

TIA,
Ed
