Get my palm m500 sync to ubuntu!

1. delete /dev/ttyUSB*
2. add one file “/etc/udev/rules.d/10-custom.rules”
BUS=”usb”, SYSFS{product}=”Handspring*”, KERNEL=”ttyUSB*”, NAME{ignore_remove}=”pilot”, MODE=”666″
After these 2 steps, any time I push “Hotsync” in crandle, /dev/ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 will be installed. (Remember to add your user to “root” gourp).

3. Set jpilot, gnome-pilot to sync with /dev/pilot.
Enable conduits in Evolution.
Add “pilot sync” applet into gnome panel.

4. The ubuntu kernel 2.6.12 USB driver just fails to install palm device from time to time. Use following instructions to reset the USB driver.

rmmod uhci-hcd
rmmod ehci-hcd
modprobe uhci-hcd
modprobe ehci-hcd
