[olug] Whats that smell? (Palm, USB, and SuSe)

[Neal Rauhauser]

   My decidely unusual Samsung i500 phone has given way to a Handspring 
Treo 650. I just got sick of paying for middleware, wrenching on the 
thing, and never, ever getting a sync. OK, and I was tempted by the 
built in camera.

  I have SuSe 9.2 on my desktop and Suse 10.0 on my laptop. USB on both 
machines works fine with other USB devices, but no joy with either than 
i500 or the Treo 650.

  Does anyone have either of these devices working under either SuSe 9.2 
or 10.0? I'll take any info I can get as this has gone beyond technical 
curiosity and started to cost me some real money by not having it working.

   This stinks bad enough that I might just put Windows on a machine 
again. Really. Those who know me understand just how serious this has 
gotten :-(
