Hi everyone,
I know this has been covered ad nauseum here and other place as I've
been googling for months trying to fix it myself. However, now that
debian-pilot is defunct and debian-handheld appears to be for the
development of Debian on handhelds, I figure this is the only place to
ask. Now for my problem:
I'm running Gnome 2.2 on unstable with Evolution 1.2.2-1 and I have a
Palm m130 I'd like to sync with it.
What I've done so far:
I've made a symbolic link between /dev/pilot and /dev/ttyUSB0 (which,
according to both /var/log/messages and the googling I've done is the
appropriate thing to do), and chowned ttyUSB0 to my username. Made sure
I have all of the proper modules loaded (usbcore, usbserial, usb-uhci,
visor) and a kernel that supports my Palm, a custom 2.4.20-5 kernel.
When I try to sync using Evolution it gives me an error saying:
Unknown pilot - no pilots match ID 27707
Use gnomecc to set pilot's ID
It appears that gnomecc is a part of gdkxft-capplet which is a gtk+-1.2
program. When I do an apt-cache show it says this:

This gnomecc capplet can assist in managing the use of libgdkxft.
I fear that it will break something really important if I install it. I
haven't seen this particular problem referenced in _any_ googling I've
done with regards to Debian. Am I fighting a losing battle or is there
some way around this?
Thanks for any assistance,
Erinn
