Hi
I've got an Sony Clie Handheld with Palm OS. Of course I want to sync it, but since i installed udev, hotsyncing doesn't work anymore.

dmesg says this:

I have a Treo 600, which has the Palm OS, and use udev. I use 'jpilot' for syncing.

My udev file has:

BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld", SYSFS{serial}="PalmSNxxxxxxxx", NAME="pilot", GROUP="uucp"

(replace the 'x's with your proper numbers)

I put the Treo in the cradle and press the cradle button, which is the 'trigger' that udev sees and creates /dev/pilot.
Being in group 'uucp' is what gives me the permission as a user to access it.

Hi,

I did similar with a Handspring Visor, made an entry in

/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules

Thanks for the advice, but I meanwhile solved the problem.

In local.rules I had KERNEL="ttyUSB[0-9]" but this device never exists, because udev puts it in 50-udev.rules to /dev/tts/USB[0-9].
So I tried to symlink the wrong device, one that never existed.
