Well, here's the issue I think I'm having.

I went back to red-carpet and found a package called evolution1.5-pilot.
I tried to install it (on SUSE 8.2) and here's the message I receive:

-------------------------
Unresolved dependencies:

Installing
evolution1.5-pilot-2.0.1.0.200410120356-0.snap.ximian.7.1[Evolution
Development Snapshot]

There are no installable providers of
=evolution1.5-2.0.1.0.200410120356-0.snap.ximian.7.1 for
evolution1.5-pilot-2.0.1.0.200410120356-0.snap.ximian.7.1[Evolution
Development Snapshot]

evolution1.5-pilot-2.0.1.0.200410120356-0.snap.ximian.7.1 is scheduled
to be installed, but this is not possible because of dependency
problems.

Marking this resolution attempt as invalid.
-------------------------

This is probably part of my issue. Is it just needing an updated
package? 

I don't mind if it only syncs up one list/calendar for now. But the
thing is that the Palm thinks it's syncing up to something, but it
isn't.
