Palm Zire + PIM (Korganizer, etc.)

I have a Palm Zire and am curious if anyone else has had good success with one under Linux/KDE 3.1 with the synchronization? Is it pretty well supported?

I had a Tungsten, and took it back just due to the fact that Linux support for it seemed like months away :(
Best,

You need linux kernel-2.4.20 or newer to use Zire. I tried it and my experience was pretty negative. Everytime I tried to install a program my system crashed :( Altought calendar synchronization worked more or less.

Zire support is included in visor module. So just load it and try kpilot or coldsync or similar synchronization tool.

can't say I'm too thrilled to hear that... were you using the 2.4.20 kernel when you were having problems with it? Once a kernel supports it (for example 2.4.20) is "improved" support for the PDA then up to the maintainers of pilot-link, kpilot and the KDE-PIM suite? Or is waiting for improvements in the kernel for it part of the deal as well?

Zire support in KDE-PIM

You know, there's a mailing list for this kind of question. It's called kde-pim@kde.org, and that's where people with expertise on these issues watch for questions. I'm not particularly thrilled to see yet-another-forum where things don't get answered accurately.

Anyway, as for the Zire, it wasn't being recognized by the USB stack until very recently. People have reported lock-ups with it, but it's unclear whether that's a kernel or user-level problem.

If KPilot doesn't work with your Palm device, let the mailing list know, file a bug report, provide useful and detailed information. Don't complain in some obscure web forum.

I have a Palm M125, and it won't let me sync. It tells me it can't open the pilot file. The kpilot site says it works with an M125 USB on SuSE, but I have Red Hat 9. Can someone help me, please? I taked care of this, and I'll be through with Windows. I am anxious not to have to rebooyt into different partitions whenever I need to sync.
I love linux
