Syncing a Palm TX with Ubuntu Dapper LTS

Hi-

I also have dapper running on an AMD64 machine.  You should check
pilot-link.org and search the forums.  It sounds like your computer is
not creating the ports...



I myself have NOT been able to sync.  I got the ports created by chance
and a lot of hacking around.  I get an "error reading file system."  I
also am having a hard time blue-tooth syncing as the OS menu in the
Sync screen is slightly different from an awesome guid at
pilot-link.org.  





Good luck
