Francisco, I am currently using a visor with the USB connection. The only difference should be the kernel module that gets loaded. Check your modules.conf and see if a usb driver is being loaded. For my chipset (intel based mb) I have: alias usb-interface usb-uhci also check in /stc/sysconfig/usb and see if USB=yes then check to see if the usb service is running as root service usb status if all is well you should be able to put the palm in and hit sync. It probably will not connect to anything, but then do a dmesg and see if a usb connection is made with a unregistered device. Then try loading the module for the palm device, I think it will just be m505. Then sync again and dmesg to check if the device is recognized this time. If it is, you are almost there.
You can check things out from a command line: pilot-xfer /dev/usb/ttyUSB? -l ? = 1 on my machine With usb you need to hit sync on the device first and then run this command. If the connection is made you can point jpilot right to that device or you can make a link to /dev/pilot as I do. Also, be warned permissions can come into play here, so you may be able to do it as root by not a user until you fix that. I did a chmod 666 on the device to get it to work. Hopefully, I didn't leave anything out since I am typing this quickly before I head off to work.
