I have a stable Ximian (Helix) Gnome, with Nautilus & Evolution (which
is great). According to the Evo mailing lists, the pilot sync'ing works
- don't have one myself. Are you using the stock CD Gnome? If so it may
be worth your time to 'upgrade'. As for the sound in Gnome, for some
reason I have to keep Gmix active for sound - that's a mystery I haven't
been able to solve. I'm using Alsa drivers for my AC97, but check a
mixer anyway. Doesn't seem to matter which wm I try, either.
