Thanks Matt, Concerning having a device to work with, Palm have a generous offer: they will lend you a Palm device for up to 60 days if you join (free) the Palm Developer Network. https://pdnet.palm.com/wps/portal/pdnet/DEVICE_LOANER_OVERVIEW Re starting in a console, here is the output: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ /usr/lib/gpilotd gpilotd-Message: gnome-pilot 2.0.16 starting... gpilotd-Message: compiled for pilot-link version 0.12.3 gpilotd-Message: compiled with [VFS] [USB] [IrDA] [Network] [Bluetooth] (gpilotd:9220): gpilotd-WARNING **: Number of devices is configured to 0 (gpilotd:9220): gpilotd-WARNING **: No accessible devices available (gpilotd:9220): gpilotd-WARNING **: Number of PDAs is configured to 0 gpilotd-Message: Activating CORBA server gpilotd-Message: bonobo_activation_active_server_register = 0 gpilotd-Message: Found 4766, 0001 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 0502, 0736 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 091e, 0004 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 115e, f100 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 082d, 0100 gpilotd-Message: Using net FALSE gpilotd-Message: Found 082d, 0200 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 082d, 0300 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 0c88, 0021 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 0830, 0001 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 0830, 0002 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 0830, 0003 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 0830, 0020 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 0830, 0031 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 0830, 0040 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 0830, 0050 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 0830, 0060 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 0830, 0061 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 0830, 0070 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 0830, 0080 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 04e8, 8001 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 04e8, 6601 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 054c, 0038 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 054c, 0066 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 054c, 0095 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 054c, 009a gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 054c, 00c9 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 054c, 00da gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 054c, 00e9 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 054c, 0144 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 054c, 0169 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE gpilotd-Message: Found 12ef, 0100 gpilotd-Message: Using net TRUE (gpilotd:9220): gpilotd-WARNING **: Could not get usb vendor ID from hal: No pro perty usb_device.vendor_id on device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_de vice_ffffffff_ffffffff_noserial_serial_usb_0 (gpilotd:9220): gpilotd-WARNING **: Could not get usb vendor ID from hal: No pro perty usb_device.vendor_id on device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_de vice_ffffffff_ffffffff_noserial_serial_usb_1 This is interesting as this shows: [EMAIL PROTECTED] andrew]# lsusb Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0a5c:2021 Broadcom Corp.
