Palm Pilot sync (again) to Fedora 2 (2.6.6)

[Clive Long]

Hi,

    Has anyone successfully synced Palm M5xx to
Fedora? 

I have read several (many) postings and Web sites.

I am using an M515 and the supplied USB / cradle

I have run the gnome pilot configurator and try to
synchronise on dev/ttyUSB0 and / or   dev/ttyUSB1 -
then press the sync button on the cradle.

   Eventually the Palm times out saying it cannot
communicate with remote device - and the gnome
configurator never proceeds beyond waiting for data on
the USB.

    Something is happening "low down" as can be seen
from the following messages I have copied from dmesg.

   Can anyone help?
