Evolution stores its calendar data in an iCalendar file.  The last time
I used it, the calendar file was in
evolution/local/Calendar/calendar.ics.  IIRC, korganizer also uses
iCalendar, so you should be able to import that directly into
korganizer.  I am, of course, assuming that you use korganizer.

If that doesn't work or isn't an option, then I think getting gpilot to
work is probably going to be the best and easiest way to get the
calendar data to your pilot (wow, saying that in writing actually caused
me physical pain for a minute...).  Make sure kpilotDaemon isn't running
first.

Finally, if neither of those pans out, I wrote an iCalendar import tool
for J-Pilot a long time ago.  It's very rough, but should be easier than
manually copying everything to your palm.  It's at
http://jp-icalendar.sourceforge.net.

Good luck,
Jason
