This site is having major problems keeping me logged in, and the login button only works from the homepage. Plus it's having problems serving pages at all, and I get blank pages until I refresh again. Bleagh.

Anyway, I've had several palms: a Vx, an m505, and a Zire 31, and I have used jpilot for years as I use Linux exclusively. My Zire just bit the dust, so I splurged for a TX. I really wanted to get away from Palm's weirdness as a company, but the Windows PC stuff is worse and DEFINITELY doesn't want to talk to Linux, and I've got everything locked up in PDB files.

Of course I had problems getting it to sync. I've spent all night working with it as I might return it Monday for an E2 or something.

It looks like it does the same thing as a Lifedrive. When you plug it in to the USB port, it connects as a device. When you hit the hotsync button, it immediately disconnects, reconnects, pauses for a second or so, then disconnects and reconnects again.

You can only talk to it if you catch it during that pause.

I'm using the 2.6.19.1 kernel with visor disabled, libusb 0.1.2, pilot-link 0.12.1, and udev 103.

I've noticed that there's Lifedrive/TX support in darwinusb.c - I wonder if there's any chance getting that backported? The comments in the code are really good, maybe I'll take a crack at that myself.

At the moment I've american-engineered my udev script to count connects/disconnects and only sync every 2nd time.

If anyone wants to collaborate on it, I can work with them.
