As suggested to assist in testing, I set up a new client system using<br>
openSUSE 10.3 in VirtualBox. I upgraded the system to KDE <a href="http://3.5.9." target="_blank">3.5.9.</a><br>

Have you ever used VMware Workstation and if so, how does VirtualBox compare?<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I defined a VirtualBOX USB device filter to provide access to the<br>
openSUSE guest USB ports for the Palm 700p.<br>
<br>
The Hotsync worked well. After starting KPilot, I plugged in the Palm<br>
and pressed the Hotsync button. After a moment or so, the Palm beeped,<br>
and the process started and ended in a proper completion. In addition,<br>
I could start another sync with no problems.<br>
<br>
I did not have this success with KDE <a href="http://3.5.7." target="_blank">3.5.7.</a></blockquote><div><br>Yep, absolutely not. KPilot pre 3.5.9 did not work well with these funky USB devices. <br><a href="http://3.5.7." target="_blank"></a><br>

I have attached the start of the log which contains several error messages.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you need anything further... Tom.<br>

</blockquote></div><br>Well, if the device is syncing properly, then I wouldn't worry about these log messages. KPilot is just reporting that the USB device comes and goes without being a valid device to sync with yet. No biggie. It's doing the right thing.<br>
<br>Or am I misunderstanding you and you're having a problem somewhere?<br><br>Thanks for the e-mail!! =:)<br clear="all"><br>-- <br> -[ Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper // <a href="http://movingparts.net">http://movingparts.net</a> ]-<br>
