Sounds similar to the zaurus problems with usbdnet. If the Palm uses usbdnet, then you'll want to find a kernel patch or upgrade to 2.4.21 or later which has nice usbnet support. That supposes the palm can be made to work over usbnet. Note that usbdnet and usbnet *are* two different things and not merely fat fingers :) > 2. I cannot get my display working on my Debian laptop.

You'd have to provide a lot more info to get help on the second one. If you provided it in an earlier thread, I've forgotten it. -troy _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
