K700 and Linux

It's been a while since I posted something so I guess I'll post something usefull for a change.

I finally managed to find some time to get my K700 talking with my Gentoo box. Here is a crude how-to:
  • Tweak your kernel
 Bluetooth subsystem support

 L2CAP protocol support

 RFCOMM protocol support  

<*> RFCOMM TTY support

Bluetooth device drivers --->  HCI USB driver
  • Add the following USE tags: irmc, evo, bluetooth
  • emerge:
    • gnome-bluetooth (adds send via bluetooth item in nautilus menu)
    • kdebluetooth (allows remote file browsing)
    • obex-server (to receive file via obex)
    • multisync (allows syncing with evolution - still have to find a way to sync with SunBird)
    • bluez (bluez-libs, bluez-utils, bluez-sdp)
  • If multisync doesn't find your irmc plugins add a '.so' extension to the libs in /usr/lib/multisync/
  • Use the T68 defaults in multisync imrc options but uncheck 'don't tell the client we are syncing'
  • Use the following apps to talk with the K700
    • konqueror
    • nautilus
    • gnome-obex-server
    • multisync
    • evolution (finally recurrent events)
Next step:

1 - About the next step:

Try to use hidd ( comes with kbluetooth ) and select remotecontrol in the K700i.. (Comment this)

2 - Hi,
I have a problem in reading messages from RFCOMM.
I am doing "rfcomm listen /dev/rfcomm 6" and then on another terminal I execute "less -f /dev/rfcomm" .Phone tells me that message has been sent.But I cannot see the messages on my PC screen.I am not able to execute the command "screen /dev/rfcomm" as my LFS does not support "screen command"

Can anybody tell me any solution for the same..?

thanking you
