Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy and Treo 680 sync


It turns out this is easy if you know what to do. I installed the 'visor' module and causes a reset on my Treo 680, but it turns out everything is already there by default.

The key is to select a "Type" of "USB", and then set "Device" to "usb:". I thought that "usb:" was just a label for something you were supposed to select below it.

Once I did that I was able to get the user info from my Treo 680 and set up the conduits. I haven't yet tried doing anything fancy like syncing with Evolution...

It is a little annoying that those things aren't clearer, as it could have been a very easy thing to setup if the selection of the "Device" were smarter or the labels were more self-explanatory.
