When you press the sync button on your visor (button for lack of a better word) have a terminal window open and running (as root) tail -f /var/log/messages this will show you what it is doing. It could be just not creating /dev/pilot in which case you would need to try and and connect to the actual port, which for my Sony Clie is /dev/ttyUSB0. This would be due to usb hotplug having gone sideways, I can't help you fix that, but I may be able to help you connect to your device again. Just let us see the messages from /var/log/messages when you click sync on the device and we can go from there. -- This is me with the words on the tip of my tongue and my eye through the scope down the barrel of a gun, remind me not to ever act this way again - Taking Back Sunday -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBBqeVfHXjcMfoResRAkEAAKCJYsCJa72nJMEk8tS5IC75SOyIbgCfaH5N gXAle9QDujbcMcHVOEiS6UY= =oaCY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
