The same /dev/ttyUSB1/ has always worked for me with Evolution, as well, using my Sony PDA, until this last release of SUSE 10.2. Now, when I attempt to sync, instead of the data appearing on the PDA or in Evolution, whichever way I attempt to sync, all I get are some gray bars. I don't know what went wrong this time, but it worked great before. If you use Evolution email, you might give that a try, as well.
