Description Joachim Reichelt 2007-10-14 21:22:57 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

I got the Palm TX to sync once to KDE on Suse 10.3 i586
Now kpilotDaemon keeps /dev/ttyUSB1 open.
When I press the Sync, the palm seems to close the device and opens
a new one. This is now ttyUSB2 and ttyUSB3.
SO to sync to the new PALM we have to close the device and open it
only during real sync.
See /var/log/messages:

I'm not sure this is actually a kpilot issue.  From the dmesg log you posted, it looks like what is happening is that your usb driver is getting released and reloaded several times.  That is why the device is getting renamed.  That could either be a kernel issue or (more likely) something funky with how OpenSuse handles devices.  

I'll try to duplicate your problem on my Arch linux box, but it may take me awhile to find my USB/serial adapter.
