Like many people, I'm using kpilot quite successfully...
I'm using OpenSUSE 10.2 with KPilot 4.9.0 (still a SVN version) and pilot-link \
0.12.1.

Good question! Not much, I guess!
All the reading you've been done should suggest to give
a little bit more information.

The reader of this eMail still isn't informed about
- which PDA you use (the problem might be specific to a PDA type and maybe needs a \
                special workaround)
- The connection type (USB, serial, Bluetooth, WLAN,...) should play a role since the \
                connection seems to work.
- Settings (if you chose "PDA to PC" the described behaviour is quite normal, but \
                this was presumably a hotsync or fastsync)
- More descriptive information about the error ("won't sync back" is quite short)
 - Output, Error messages, log file content,...
 - Debug information from a debug enabled version is probably quite useful!
-...
Even if there's no solution at the moment, the feed back should at least
draw an image about which combinations and functionalities are critical...
kpilot might still broken in 3.5.6, but it's also helpful to find out what "broken" \
means exactly.


BTW, I'm synchronizing my Palm TX with a USB cable using the
"usb:" device setting and that works quite well. There's a (known) problem
with the kpilot GUI (freezing), but I usually don't use the GUI!
I didn't have problems here recently, but reading these emails about people having
problems with it, I think that it might be a good idea, if kpilot automatically
does a backup of the korganizer calendar file just before starting the \
synchronization. In this case, the calendar file seems not to be damaged though and \
also the pilot calendar is OK. But the nuisance here seems to be, that new KOrganizer \
entries are not copied to the pilot during a hotsync?
