I am suffering with KPilot on Mandrake 9.0, running the rpms from Mandrake of KDE 3.1.0.
KPilot appears to be trying to access /dev/ttyUSB0 (as I have told it to), but it cant find it. the Kernel log is showing that the visor is bound to /dev/ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1, but the 2 are not communicating. And quite frankly it doesn't matter if I tell it ttyUSB1 either. There is still no connect. Can anyone tell me why this isn't working?
