dear four-toe'd maintainers, on my search through the net last few nights in order to get my usb-cradle with palm m500 to work with GNOME on FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE, i found various statements concerning the current state of gnomepilot - from "it works perfectly" to "it simply won't work until the next GNOME release". since none of the authors of the mentioned statements replied to my request for the sources of their statements, i decided to ask you directly - as i expect you to be probably the folks to know best... so: a lot of people complain about gnomepilot never finishing the initial sync to retrieve the palm username and id, while syncing with pilot-xfer and jpilot works perfectly. What is the current status of gnomepilot concerning this problem? Can I expect to get it working on FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE with the ucom+uvisor drivers or do we simply have to wait for next version? Would buying a serial cradle help? I'd really appreciate your feedback, since i definitely am willing to go on trying if i only know that success ***is*** possible... Thanks, Sven P.S.: Yes, everything has been cvsup'ed before installation and the device is correctly identified as /dev/ucom0.
