 Posted: Fri Sep 09, 2005 8:07 pm Post subject: Problems with Palm m125 |
 |
|
I know it sounds odd but I would like to get a Palm m125 working with gentoo. Its for my job and it is the only handheld computer they offered. I have followed many guides on how to get a palm connected but I seem to have an error and I can not find any help on this subject. I have recompiled my 2.6.12-r10 kernel so it has usbserial, visor, and they other modules that they say to put in, I run modprobe usbserial, then modprob visor, then I do a lsmod and this is what is displayed:
| Code: | Blake src # /sbin/lsmod
Module Size Used by
visor 18700 0
usbserial 27752 1 visor
|
Then I put the palm in the cradle and push the hotsink button and then look in my logs but I don't see it connecting. Here is the page I have been using to help me http://howto.pilot-link.org/ppp/cb.html I also have tried to use kpilot I would like to use Kmail and Kontacts to sync with, but if I use the wizard and choose the autodetect and it crashes with this error code:
| Code: | Pilot Path /dev/tts/0 already connected.
QString::arg(): Argument missing: Already listening on that device, /dev/tts/0
kpilot: ERROR: [bool KPilotDeviceLink::open(QString)] : Already listening on that device Check Pilot path and permissions.
KCrash: Application 'kpilot' crashing...

Thanks

Does
(emerge app-admin/usbview) show the Palm,
when you push the hotsync button?

No it only shows Intel Corporation 82801/DBM, in my log files it doesn't register a palm device either

If usbview doesn't show the Palm, then the deficiency is at a
lower level than I know how to deal with. You may need to await
the reply of someone smarter.

If you use udev, change the device path into /dev/tts/USB0 or /dev/tts/USB1.

I don't understand if you have not udev.
to check if you use udev, run `ps ax|grep udev`.
usually, /dev/tts/ directory will appear, after you press sync button.
if you don't press sync button in palm, udev does not make /dev/tts and USB[01].
