I am trying to get my Palm M130 working with F9 using libusb. When I
start the hotsync, /var/log/messages shows this:

The "address 16" on the second and last lines increments each time I try
it, otherwise it is identical every time.
I also get the following in /proc/bus/usb/devices:
T: Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 16 Spd=12 MxCh= 0

E: Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=03(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 32 Ivl=0ms
and I get a corresponding entry in /proc/bus/usb/003 (in this
case, /proc/bus/usb/003/016).
However, "pilot-xfer -p usb: -l" just sits there saying "Listening for
incoming connection on usb:..." forever.
Is there anything special I need to do to configure this? Any
troubleshooting ideas? Or should I just give up on libusb and use visor?
I help a guy who has a Palm Lifedrive and w had same experience with
Fedora 8 and never did get it to work. There's a long long thread
about it
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=280251
they say it will work in F9. F9 is supposed to have the updated HAL
settings, but I think that does not give a sufficient configuration.
I wonder if you have done the basic configuration described in
/usr/share/doc/pilot-link? Look in README-usb and README-fedora. You
have to copy a udev config file out of one directory and into another
in order to make it work. And I think it is also necessary to add
your user to the group "uucp" but I just learned that from usenet
conversation, not the manual.
One thing is to try to run pilot-link as root. If it works there,
then y ou have the old permission problem.
On the other hand, if it doesn't work for root, it means it is just
not working. I'm in the "just not working" status now with F8.
Keep trying, post back here what you find out. I'm quite interested
to hear if/when it works and how you get it.
