So, I updated to the latest version of KDE and KPilot, but I still can't get
it working.
Then I got weird random errors, like Input/Output Error and such, and I
haven't had it sync since I upgraded.
Now Kpilot just won't respond when I start it up, it crashes immediately.
My Palm is a USB connection so I think that's part of the problem, altho I
don't understand why Kpilot doesn't handle that itself. Why can't it just
take the ttyUSB# out of the system log each time, that's where I see it...
(dmesg)?
Anyway, below is the message I got when I ran Kpilot from a
terminal...Thanks!
