Well, let's clarify...  The latest official release of kpilot (from KDE's svn) 
works very well with all known palm devices, iff you use pilot-link 0.11.8.  
However, many modern Linux distributions are (rightfully so) distributing 
pilot-link 0.12.x, which has some major problems with the latest release of 
kpilot.  The next-to-be-released version of kpilot (currently in kde's 
kdepim-3.5.5+ branch and also codeyard.net's svn repository--see kpilot.org 
for more details) works perfectly with pilot-link 0.12.1 (demands it, 
really), and with at the very least the Treo 650 (my pda).  =:)  HTH.

Yep, true enough.  Please report back to the list with some more info and 
we'll see if we can help you get syncing.  =:)
