Subject: Palm sync

Hi,
I'm having trouble getting my Palm m100 to talk with my installation of
Yellow Dog Linux. Here are the details of my setup:
Beige G3 (i.e. old-style serial ports)
YDL 2.0, with kernel 2.4.10 (compiled my own)
Ximian Desktop (i.e. Gnome 1.4)
Palm m100 with serial sync cable
On Linux: the system sees my serial ports (the boot process and dmesg
indicate they're there); dmesg reports the following:
PowerMac Z8530 serial driver version 2.0
tty00 at 0xd5bfd020 (irq = 15) is a Z8530 ESCC, port = modem
tty01 at 0xd5c04000 (irq = 16) is a Z8530 ESCC, port = printer
and
Serial driver version 5.05c (2001-07-08) with MANY_PORTS SHARE_IRQ
SERIAL_PCI enabled
I've been using /dev/ttyS0 for my modem port (should there be a
/dev/tty00?), and though I've tried others in the /dev/ttyS* and
/dev/cua* range, I think my modem port *should* be /dev/ttyS0
(/dev/ttys1 works for my printer).
Finally, in the 'here are my settings' department, stty -F /dev/ttyS0
returns:
speed 38400 baud; line = 0;
flush = ^U;
-brkint -imaxbel
My problem: I can't seem to sync at all. I've tried using both Pilot
Link (built into Gnome) and jpilot, but with no success. In each case,
when I get to the point in configuration that I'm supposed to press the
sync button and watch my Palm communicate with, nothing happens after I
press that sync button. My Palm screen indicates that it's trying, but
eventually times out; no response is indicated on the Linux side.
Any suggestions? Am I doing anything wrong? Is there some setting I'm
missing?
Thanks,
Marc
