FC6 on my Toshiba P35-S611 Laptop

So I've been running Linux on this laptop for almost 2 years now. After some procrastination I decided to upgrade from FC4 to FC6. While the stability doesn't seem to be as great I have gotten a number of things to work that I never bothered to get working on the FC4 install. Those things include the built-in modem, a bluetooth dongle and dual displays.

The easiest thing to do was getting the internal modem working. I found the slmodem-alsa package on the Livna repo. I just installed it since I already had the Livna repo installed on my la
yum install slmodem-alsa
Then I edited /etc/sysconfig/slmodemd
COUNTRY=USA
Then start up the daemon
/etc/init.d/slmodemd restart
Now I had a /dev/ttySL0 interface
ls -l /dev/ttyS0
I made a symlink to /dev/modem
ln -s /dev/ttySL0 /dev/modem
Then I went into the system-config-network applet and set up a dialup connection

Unfortunately I haven't been able to make the modem speaker work but I can now test dialup accounts when I need to. And in a pinch I can use a dialup account if I have to.

YOU DON'T NEED TO COMPILE slmodemd FROM SOURCE!

Here's a cool pic of my current dual head setup:

I use the bluetooth to network sync my Treo 700p

/etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf:
options {
autoinit yes;
security user;
pairing multi;


}

device {
name "laptop";
class 0x120104;
iscan enable; pscan enable;
lm accept;
lp hold,sniff,park;
auth enable;
encrypt enable;
}

/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf:
rfcomm0 {
bind yes;

# My treo 700p
device 00:07:E0:B8:F2:D4;

channel 1;

comment "Brian's Treo 700p";
}

/etc/sysconfig/dund:
DUNDARGS='--listen --persist --msdun call dun'

chkconfig bluetooth on
chkconfig dund on

service bluetooth start
service dund start

Then I just paired the phone to the laptop and set up a network sync.

To get gpilotd to netsync,
.gnome2/gnome-pilot.d/gpilotd:
[Device0]
type=4
name=Cradle
timeout=5

I didn't actually want to bind it to any particular IP address or I'd have added a few other settings.
