I have loaded all the "bluez*" stuff, dmesg shows no errors in the bluetooth lines, is there some tool google didn't show to duplicate the Windows behavior of showing BT devices nearby and offering to connect to them. I really would like to use a BT headset, and maybe use BT for a printer, but there just doesn't seem to be any such app, so I assume I have to install yet more packages.
Under Windows the system see headsets, cell phones, a printer, and an "other device" which is unidentified. I would think this would be common enough to work out of the box, but it doesn't even work under fc10.
Just right click on the BT icon in the panel. Everything needed is installed by default and works just fine.
What BT icon would that be? There certainly is none in any default I've ever used. Or is this one of those KDE-only things? And the Bluetooth item on the applications menu if offering to open files, not look for devices.
When a BT device is plugged in / detected you should see an icon in the notification-area. The rightclick menu offers different things you can do with bluetooth, it also provides a wizard for setting up new devices.
