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:
- Make an application for the K700 that comunicates with my homebrew jukebox (Java Bluetooth How-to).

About the next step:
Try to use hidd ( comes with kbluetooth ) and select remotecontrol in the K700i..

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
