phunni Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 make sure that the USB modules are loaded and also that your kernel supports the visor functionality - either as a module or built in. If as a module, then load it. You'll then want to create a symlink (probably something like /dev/pilot) to whatever get's created in dev when you plug your device in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Can you see it with usb view or the KDE information/USB If so I have an old serial one works fine ... however I found jpilot easier to get working..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopDog Posted May 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 You'll then want to create a symlink (probably something like /dev/pilot) to whatever get's created in dev when you plug your device in How do I do that? I know the USB-port works, I use the same port for my USB-stick. I'll take a look at Jpilot, but I shold get the /dev/pilot to work first, right !?

phunni Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Normally, for me, /dev/usb is empty. When I hit the sync button on my palm though /dev/usb/tts/0 and /dev/usb/tts/1 appear One of these will be what you need to link to - you'll have to experiment. For me it's /dev/usb/tts/1 Just in case you need it the command to create the link would be: ln -s /dev/usb/tts/1 /dev/pilot Disclaimer - this is running on a Gentoo system for me - but it should be the same or similar for mandrake. At the very leaast it should give you enough to figure out what you need... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
