Description of problem: Palm Sync doesn't work out of the box. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC2 Standard Install How reproducible: Every computer I tried. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Choose (from start) Preferences > More Preferences > Palm OS Devices 2. Attempt to sync the Palm device using USB in default location of /dev/pilot. Follow on-screen instructions. Actual results: Palm device is unable to connect. Expected results: Palm should connect. Additional info: Following the extremely easy http://fedoranews.org/tchung/gnome-pilot/ I found that all I needed to to was create a symbolic link from /dev/pilot to /dev/ttyUSB1 and it worked. I think this should work out of the box and the link should already have been created if the installer expects us to put the pilot in /dev/pilot.
it's a setting problem here. pilot-link will use device file <port> to communicate with the Palm handheld. if it is not specified, will look for the $PILOTPORT environment variable. If both are not found, will fall back to /dev/pilot. in your case you have to set your Port to correct device with gnome-pilot
