A couple of years worth of appointments :-)

I tried that, both PC->Palm and Palm->PC.  What's weird is that syncing worked 
until Sunday morning and stopped working that same night, without me 
installing anything else in the meantime.

I am not worried about data loss as I have several backups of the raw data and 
have tested them.

Actually I had been using the manual method.  When it stopped working I tried 
all sorts of things.

I will do that.  Yesterday I cleaned up my system and reverted to a 2.6.15 
kernel.  I will try again with this, despite the erratic udev/usb behaviour, 
and I will also try with a cleanly compiled 2.6.17 (the one I used from Edgy 
broke my glibc).  When I have a better grasp of what exactly does not work 
and how to reproduce it, I will submit a bug report.

Thanks for the follow-up.
