Is it /dev/palm or /dev/pilot?

That aside, you definitely want to get a recent version of pilot-link
(the underlying package that jpilot, kpilot, gnome-pilot etc. are based
on) and use libusb instead of the visor kernel module. Also make sure
visor isn't being loaded ("lsmod|grep visor" as root to check) and set
up jpilot to use "usb:" as its device rather than /dev/whatever. This is
both faster and much more reliable.

Current stable versions for F8 are:
libusb-0.1.12-10.fc8
pilot-link-0.12.2-18.fc8
