[coldsync-hackers] m500: cannot coldsync

[Richard Körber <shred@shredzone.de>]

Hi!

Important data first: Kernel 2.4.9; usb-uhci, usbserial and
visor compiled into the kernel. USB is working fine, e.g.
with a Wacom Graphire tablet.

I cannot sync my m500 with coldsync. I press the Hotsync
button on the cradle, and see how the Palm is recognized
properly by the converter, and assigned to ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1.
Everything is fine so far.

When I start coldsync now, it asks me to press the Hotsync
button again. But nothing happens when I press it. (The same
with pilot-xfer.)

I found a m500 patch for coldsync 2.1.3, but I wasn't able to
apply it, so I gave coldsync-2.2.0-20010905 a try (with usb_m50x
option as stated), but it didn't work either.

On google, I found someone else having the same problem, but
no solution yet, so I think the problem is rare.

What am I doing wrong?

Is there some way I could help to get it running? (I am a
developer, but I only have very little experience with Linux
programming.)

Thanks in advance!
