After setting up the device with Tools => Pilot Settings with the Backup conduit enabled, closing Evolution, and opening Evolution again, I select Tools => Pilot Settings again. I see the following: Message: Pilot name -> clie Message: Pilot id -> 501 Message: Pilot username -> tfox Message: Pilot creation/rom = 0/0 Message: Pilot sync_action -> not_set Message: Cradle Type -> USB Message: cradle device name -> USB Message: cradle device name -> /dev/ttyUSB1 Message: Pilot Speed -> 115200 Message: Timeout -> 15 gpilotd-Message: Initing gnome vfs gpilotd-Message: gnome-pilot 0.1.71 starting... gpilotd-Message: compiled for pilot-link version 0.11.5 gpilotd-Message: compiled with [VFS] [USB] [IrDA] [Network] gpilotd-Message: Activating CORBA server Message: pilot = clie gpilotd-Message: Watching USB (/dev/ttyUSB1) gpilotd-Message: gpilotd: Client seems ok gpilotd-Message: gpilotd: Client seems ok gpilotd-Message: gpilotd: monitor_on(pilot_name="clie",client_id = IOR:010000001b000000...) gpilotd-Message: gpilotd: corba: notify_on(event_type=CONNECT,callback=IOR:010000001b000000...) gpilotd-Message: gpilotd: corba: notify_on(event_type=DISCONNECT,callback=IOR:010000001b000000...)

OK, if I go back to the Conduits and enable/disable/enable one of them, Apply, press the HotSync, then click OK, it works. It seems to be restarting gpilotd to fix something, but I should be able to sync without having to enable/disable/enable a Conduit each time.
If you run gpilotd from a terminal, do you see anything when you hit the hotsync button? Also, is there output in dmesg about the connect of the device?
If I start the daemon from the command line, I get: gpilotd-Message: gnome-pilot 0.1.71 starting... gpilotd-Message: compiled for pilot-link version 0.11.5 gpilotd-Message: compiled with [VFS] [USB] [IrDA] [Network] gpilotd-Message: Activating CORBA server gpilotd-Message: Watching USB (/dev/ttyUSB1) After pressing the HotSync button, I get: gpilotd-Message: setting PILOTRATE=115200 gpilotd-WARNING **: Unable to bind to pilot I don't see anything specifically about the pilot in dmesg, but /var/log/messages has: Jan 27 21:46:41 goofy gnome-name-server[12168]: starting Jan 27 21:46:41 goofy gnome-name-server[12168]: name server starting Jan 27 21:46:47 goofy kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.0-1, assigned address 3 Jan 27 21:46:47 goofy kernel: usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x54c/0x66) is not claimed by any active driver.

This somehow works now with RHL 9 + errata.
