Actually, I got this working this morning but had to deal with a
customer crisis so I was unable to post back until now.
FC-3 - apparently udev is the issue so I am providing a manual
workaround in the interim.
as root...
mknod /tmp/pilot c 188 1
chown craig /tmp/pilot
plug in treo and press hotsync button
as craig (cli)
pilot-xfer -L -p /tmp/pilot
Works - got file list from Treo
so to make gpilotd work I had to add...
<!-- Handspring Treo 650 -->
<device vendor_id="0830" product_id="0061" />
to /usr/share/gnome-pilot/devices.xml
bugzilla entry that led me here...
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=158809
Thanks all
Craig
