Bug 160802

Version:           4.9.2-358 (moribund alleycat) (using 3.5.7 "release 72" , openSUSE 10.3)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.22.5-31-default

With a fresh installation of OpenSuSe 10.3 on a new x86_64 PC, it does not seem possible to get KPilot to work with any of my three PDAs, namely:
 . Handspring Visor, PalmOS v 3.1H3
 . PalmPilot m515, PalmOS v 4.1
 . Palm Tungsten E, PalmOS v 5.2.1
All of these have USB connectivity for HotSync. For KPilot versions, see below.

When using the configuration wizard, and "Automatically Detect Handheld & User Name", pressing the HotSync button as required, KPilot crashes and exits after having reached some 30% on the status progress bar.

When to proceed trying without using the wizard, KPilot & the PDA never gets in touch: The HotSync log window gets filled up with the following --

<b>Version:</b> KPilot 4.9.2-358 (moribund alleycat)
<b>Version:</b> pilot-link 0.12.2
<b>Version:</b> KDE 3.5.7 "release 72" 
<b>Version:</b> Qt 3.3.8

 -- and so it goes on & on.
