If you are using Jpilot, be VERY CAREFUL to turn OFF all
synchronization from the gnome-pilot daemon. If you're not using the
gnome software you want to be sure it doesn't try to synchronize or
backup at all.

I just upgraded my palm to a Treo 755p and Jpilot works very well with
it. I have NOT tried to synchronize any email or photos or anything
Jpilot does not handle directly.

I am using the usb: setting -- I suspect the people who ARE having
trouble with their Treos and Jpilot in Ubuntu are probably having a
conflict with the gnome-pilot process.
