It took me a few tries to figure this out, so I decided I'll write it up. Some of the commands are from what I remember doing, so they may not be exactly right. I am following the guide from plone.org:

http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/buildout

# Need this package:
sudo apt-get install build-essential

# (This one took me a while to figure out, but it is what allows compilations to work. Just having # gcc and what I thought were system libraries doesn't do it.)
# Needed to install Python 2.4 package:
sudo apt-get install python2.4-dev

# Installed PIL package:
sudo apt-get install python-imaging

# Installed 'ez_setup.py' using 'python2.4':
wget http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
sudo python2.4 ez_setup.py

# Get paster:
sudo easy_install-2.4 -U ZopeSkel

# Use paster:
# http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/buildout/creating-a-buildout-for-your-project

It turns out this is easy if you know what to do. I installed the 'visor' module and causes a reset on my Treo 680, but it turns out everything is already there by default.

The key is to select a "Type" of "USB", and then set "Device" to "usb:". I thought that "usb:" was just a label for something you were supposed to select below it.

Once I did that I was able to get the user info from my Treo 680 and set up the conduits. I haven't yet tried doing anything fancy like syncing with Evolution...

It is a little annoying that those things aren't clearer, as it could have been a very easy thing to setup if the selection of the "Device" were smarter or the labels were more self-explanatory.

I found it was not that easy to pair my Logitech Bluetooth Travel Mouse with my Dell Inspiron 710m laptop running Ubuntu. I found a place that described how to pair it, but then after I rebooted into Windows XP it wouldn't work again.

I think I figured out how to do it from this posting:

Once I added the "device" entry to the Bluetooth configuration and restarted, it automatically started working.
