I'll have to check my notes at home.  I am going through this with my
wife's Palm M130.  My search came down to a list of supported Palm devices
in a driver or config file somewhere.  One person had to add their device
to the list in order for it to work.  That's where I quit for the night a
week or so ago.

I like Fedora, really.  But, from FC2 on sync with palm devices has been a
broken pain.  It's like they broke it with UDEV and other stuff and no one
knows or cares.  I don't know where in the chain it breaks.  I spent more
than an hour in the #fedora chat with two seemingly knowledgable people
trying to solve my above issue and they were stumped as I was.  USB "sees"
the device, stuff gets generated by UDEV, sync fails.  Argh!

Maybe between the two of us we can get it to work.  I'll look at it again
when I get home.

All input from others is very welcome since I am struggling with this too.
