Thanks. I will.

Right now I am feeling like a frustrated idiot ;-)

I am trying to get my Zire 72 to work with my system...

Mandrake 10.0 Official

pilot-link-0.11.8-5mdk

KDE 3.2

KPilot 4.4.0 (kdepim-kpilot-3.2-32.1.100mdk)

I know the USB port works. I have used a camera, a scanner,

and a card reader on the same ports.

Also, this is my third pilot device (but the first Palm USB device).

When I load the visor module I get this message...

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I edited the line in visor.h to read

#define PALM_ZIRE_ID                    0x0061

to match the vender/product id on the Zire 72

I installed the new visor module; removed the old module from memory

and loaded the new one. I continue to get the same message as above.

I try pilot-xfer and get this...

------------------------------------------------------------------------

$ pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -l

  Port not connected, sleeping for 2 seconds, 0 retries..

  Device not found on /dev/ttyUSB1, Did you hit HotSync?

  Unable to bind to port: /dev/ttyUSB1

I have carefully followed the instructions and troubleshooting tips from

the Handspring Mini-Howto

cat /proc/bus/usb/devices produces this...

So, was this issue ever resolved?
