Are you using any front end such as kpilot, gpilit, or jpilot? They often
come with a wizard that assumes a connection via USB (you can specify the
device path, e.g. /dev/usb/ttyUSB0). I never had any difficulties with
SuSE and Ubuntu Palm synchronisation. Just a couple of minutes to set up,
given that all the software is ready 'out of the box'. For what it's
worth, here is the extensive HOWTO that has become a valuable reference
for troubleshooting:

Hope it helps,
