Oh, you're running >= 2.6.25! That's cool. The SynCE patch was sent
upstream[0] recently and was released with 2.6.25. Therefore, you
shouldn't need a patched kernel, which is cool. Could you try that out
please?

Oh, this may be due to the fact that libsynce 0.11.1 has been uploaded,
but librapi2 hasn't yet. You could try using the librapi2 0.11.1 package
by:

 1. dget -xu http://jdl.ducs.org.uk/packages/librapi2_0.11.1-1.dsc
 2. cd librapi2-0.11.1
 3. dpkg-buildpackage
 4. dpkg -i ../*.deb

Unfortunately, my sponsor is on vacation at the moment so can't do
normal uploads of SynCE stuff. However, I suspect I can get one package
uploaded by a different sponsor if it proves that it makes SynCE work
again!

Sorry I am limited on time testing at the moment; I am in the middle of
the exam period. :-(

Thanks,
