Re: [Evolution] Cannot Syncronize Handspring Visor Deluxe and Evolution 1.2.2 (SuSE 8.2)

[Mark Gordon <mtgordon ximian com>]

Based on the output below, I'm skeptical that the device you have is
actually the "first" handspring pda; it's presumably much more recent
than that.

I know there's better Clie support in the current gnome-pilot (2.0.9). 
If you have an earlier gnome-pilot, an upgrade might help.

Also, given that the problem seems to be in gnome-pilot rather than the
Evolution conduits specifically, you might be better off posting to the
gnome-pilot list (though I know there's at least one gnome-pilot
developer on this list).
