so, i've been playing with FC3T3 and trying figure out the changes with udev, hal and fstab-sync.
i couldn't find any threads on the subject so i thought i'd start one to see how people are going.
one success:
my palm pilot wants to connect through /dev/ttyUSB1 which gets created automagically by udev. it sets the permission to 0660, and the group to uucp. rather than ad my account to that group, i figured out how to make a change in /etc/udev/permissions.d/10-local.permissions by just checking out 50-udev.permissions.
http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php helped me work out what i was supposed to do there.
one failure:
i can't for the life of me figure out how to tell fsync-stab which partitions to add. i have two drives, and on the second one there's an NTFS, a VFAT and an EXT3 partition. for some reason, the VFAT partition never gets added, and i can't find where to add it explicitly.
next on my list is getting the thinkpad module to autoload and create the device, etc. modprobe.conf doesn't seem to be working for some reason. so i currently have to do everything manually. i added a new rule for the thinkpad drivers, but i can't figure out if there's a command to get it read them. i think i got it to work once... still need to work at it.
