Re: [PLUG] Clie and Linux


Ok,
The biggest thing to do is either make or change the the /dev/pilot link
to point to the USB entries in /dev

On older kernels and not using DEVFS you would link /dev/pilot to
/dev/ttyUSB1

On DEVFS you link to the USB entries there, Unfortunatly, I do this on
my notebook, which happens to be at work right now and I'm home sick :(

The thing to remember is the actual device nodes you link to don't exist
until you presses the hotsync button on the handheld or cradle

For my handpring Visor prism I also have to have usb-uhci.o,visor.o, and
usbserial.o loaded.

When running with or J-pilot the thing to remember is to hit the hotsync
first then hit the sync button in J-pilot.  I your are using gpilotd
just hit the hotsync button.

I can give you more details when I get to work tommorow (hopefully I'll
feel beter)

Also there a really good site called http://usbvisor.sourceforge.net
that has all the details, you may be able to adapt some for the clie
