Hi,

I've been reading most of the documentation out there regarding the subject (and beyond). I've read this: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/bluetooth-guide.xml and several others and the end result is that I cannot seem to sync my treo with my Gentoo box.

I seem to be able to talk to my Treo with rfcomm, after defining the /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm and hcid.conf. But when I try to sync my Treo I get from it a message about its unable to communicate with the PC - probably serial port already taken (or something similar). I'm used to syncing the Treo via a USB cable with Kontact. Worked great.

I'm pretty sure that I'm "close to it" but I cannot seem to find the missing link(s). I'm a newbie to bluetooth (not to other things) and not familiar with the protocol itself or the architecture in which its implemented in Gentoo. I think that current tutorials are for bluez v2.x, not for v3.x . For example, there's no running daemon on my machine named sdpd. I do have sdptool (command) but no daemon is running, as mentioned by most tutorials out there.

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Boaz.

My configuration:
~Running amd64 Gentoo. Kernel have the right things inside (please let me know if you need details, and what). Everything seems to be compiled with USE="bluetooth", including kdebluetooth, bluez-utils, bluez-libs, bluez-firmware (and several others).
