I have the same model Palm and I have used it with
FC6...unfortunately....i haven't synced in a while...for lack of
need....i fine with only having the info on my Palm. IF you cannot get
this to work within a few days. I will give it a try on my end...but
you have me a bit worried that something may go wrong and I may loose
data.

About the files you spoke of. I do do have them, from `locate`:
/usr/lib/qt-3.3/etc/settings/.qt_plugins_3.3rc.lock
/usr/lib/qt-3.3/etc/settings/qt_plugins_3.3rc

However, I can't seem to associate an RPM file with them.

Peace.
