Fedora Palm Questions - Resolved

[Igor Anikeev]

Hi,

My thanks goto Mark Schwartz for helpingto sortme it all out.

I chose syncinig with j-pilot, and that'show I did it:

The device turned out to be at /dev/ttyUSB1, so I did a chmod 0666 
/dev/ttyUSB1

and it basically worked.

As for the external MS card and MSImport application it turned out 
important to have the following lines in modprobe.conf:

alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd

One of thos was missing in my initial setup.

After that put the following entry in /etc/fstab:

/dev/sda1    /mnt/clie      vfat      noauto,user,rw         0 0


As root run /usr/sbin/updfstab

mkdir /mnt/clie

And you're all set.  It even automounts. 

The only remaining problemwith syncronization isthat localeon FC2 for 
Russians is ru_RU.UTF-8, and j-pilot 0.99.7 doesn't suggest the option 
of recoding Host UTF-8 - Palm windows-1251 (or koi8-r for that matter).  
I filed a bug for them and hope it'll be available sometime soon.
