Windows Mobile 6 device - no connection

Hello,
I used this wiki to connect my winmobile6 device to my pc, but they won't talk to each other... That's what all synce-progs say (the particular command in this case was synce-matchmaker status):

** Message: Device /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_bb4_bce_eac31211_5943_e103_f800_0050bf3f5173_if1_serial_usb_1 not fully set in Hal, skipping
** Message: Device /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_bb4_bce_eac31211_5943_e103_f800_0050bf3f5173_if0_serial_usb_0 not fully set in Hal, skipping
** Message: No devices connected to odccm
[synce_info_from_file:73] unable to open file: /home/ku/.synce/active_connection
[rapi_context_connect:173] Failed to get connection info
[main:66] Failed to initialize RAPI

I don't really know how to set them in Hal or whatever I may have to do.

Re: Windows Mobile 6 device - no connection

You need synce-hal if you search the forums there is a pkgbuild for it, just make sure to modify it so it is the newest verision. Also you need to add a flag to the configure line and that information is in the same thread as the pkgbuild. I plan on adding it to the aur as soon as I have a chance, unless someone beats me to it of course.

Re: Windows Mobile 6 device - no connection

Mine's synce-hal 0.13.1-1 but I don't se any action.
Maybe there is an issue that kernel doesn't sense any plugging when I connect my SE Xperia
Tail /var/log doesn't show any plugging at all.
I've try several packages, but maybe I've to investigate why no reports from the kernel.
I'd like to sync my contact.

EDIT:
good news, I can connect to my Xperia, but as I read over many webpages an Wikis:
o) Must use the original cable from SE
o) Need to modprobe rndis and ifconfig rndis0 up. Better if download rndis-lite module
o) I just left out to start a partnership and now I see only the program list of installed program on the Xperia

Further investigations to come :)

EDIT2:
I realize no hope to get Kde4 Kontact synchronized with my pockecPC. Here and also here explain why.
I know something about python, but I don't know how to reformat the data to be imported in Kontact :(
