Hi,

I've had a lot of trouble with SuSE and my Palm and I'm now trying to sync on 
Fedora Core 2. My machine detects the device alright, but I'm having problems 
getting the device to sync.

When I power up my Palm, /var/log/messages registers the device. This is what 
it says.
------------------------------------------------------
Jul  5 22:49:07 localhost kernel: usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using 
address 15
Jul  5 22:49:07 localhost kernel: usbserial 3-1:1.0: Handspring Visor / Palm 
OS converter detected
Jul  5 22:49:07 localhost kernel: usb 3-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS 
converter now attached to ttyUSB2 (or usb/tts/2 for devfs)
Jul  5 22:49:07 localhost kernel: usb 3-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS 
converter now attached to ttyUSB3 (or usb/tts/3 for devfs)
Jul  5 22:49:09 localhost udev[5858]: creating device node '/udev/ttyUSB2'
Jul  5 22:49:09 localhost udev[5860]: creating device node '/udev/ttyUSB3'
----------------------------------------------------------

Now my question is where is my device connected to? All the documentation on 
the web that I've read suggest /dev/ttyUSB1. I've tried that, and no go. I've 
tried /dev/ttyUSB2 and /dev/ttyUSB3 also with no luck.

To make things even more confusing, when I press the hotsync button on my 
Palm, /var/log/messages contains the following.
-----------------------------------------------------
Jul  5 22:52:05 localhost udev[5886]: removing device node '/udev/ttyUSB0'
Jul  5 22:52:05 localhost kernel: visor ttyUSB0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS 
converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0

Jul  5 22:52:17 localhost udev[6022]: creating device node '/udev/ttyUSB1'
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone have any suggestion on how I should proceed?
