Funny coincidence - had the same problem today.
My Palm is a Tungsten E without a craddle - just an USB cable. To be
able to use that I need a couple of things:
1. Kernel
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL=m
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_GENERIC=y
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_VISOR=m
2. Loading modules in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 with
visor vendor=0x0830 product=0x0060
That'll both load visor and usbserial.
3. UDEV
In /etc/udev/rules.d/10-visor.rules:
KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]*", NAME="tts/USB%n", GROUP="usb", MODE="0666"
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL="ttyUSB[13579]",
SYMLINK="pilot", MODE="0666", GROUP="usb"
In /etc/udev/permissions.d/10-visor.permissions
ttyUSB*:root:usb:0666
tts/[0-9]*:root:usb:0666
tts/USB[0-9]*:root:usb:0666
pilot:root:usb:0666
4. Hotplug should have been emerged and running
5. Testing
Now add your user(s) to the group usb, press Hotsync on your Palm device
and check if /dev/tts/USB0 and /dev/tts/USB1 have been created by UDEV
and a symlink /dev/pilot exists.
If that's true run pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot --list while your Palm still
is trying to hotsync. pilot-xfer should be able to connect now.
If you're using Gnome I recommend using the gnome-pilot-applet. Works
like a charm with Evolution.
