I'm just a user, like you, trying to get my bluetooth working properly. But I will try to help you. Probably, Debian's bluez-utils contains most of the things in bluez-lib, bluez-pan, and bluez-sdp. I'm using Debian Etch, and /usr/sbin/sdpd is part of bluez-utils (as is /usr/bin/pand). Even though you think that your Treo 680 already has a bluetooth hotsync profile, create a new one anyway. Despite the name, there are probably subtle unseen differences between network connection and hotsync profiles. When you create the new hotsync profile, be sure to give it a different name from the others. Where did you read that using "dund" was a bad idea? Try using dund. I have been able to get one of my bluetooth adapters working to get my Palm PDA online using the methods outlined here: http://howto.pilot-link.org/bluesync/ga.html (Another bluetooth dongle [the expensive one] does not work yet, and that's why I'm here.) After you get everything setup properly (hcid, sdpd, dund, rfcomm), I suggest you use kpilot to help you hotsync. Gnome-pilot has never worked for me, and although kpilot is kcrap, it actually backs up your PDA when it's not crashing. However, kpilot would need to know where to find the device file for contacting your smartphone, and that device file would be /dev/rfcomm0 or /dev/rfcomm1 or something similar. So you'll start kpilot and go into "Settings/ Configure Kpilot/ Device." Most likely, the device will be /dev/rfcomm0. PS. We users should stick around here for so that we can build a knowledge core that is able to benefit others when they come here. If we all get what we need then leave the list (unsubscribe), that knowledge core can never form. The knowledge core I refer to would be a group of people knowledgeable in bluez and bluetooth. ---------------- [0] http://howto.pilot-link.org/bluesync/gb.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
