I should have added: a workaround is to stop hald, restart gnome-pilot, and then restart hald:
In a terminal window: --------------------- sudo /etc/init.d/hal stop killall gpilotd /usr/bin/gpilotd & sudo /etc/init.d/hal start
If gpilotd doesn't find hal running when gpilotd starts, it falls back to polling usbfs.
