Solid is the hardware detection library that will be used in the
upcoming KDE 4. Solid depends on several backends, so that will make
it not suitable for you. Maybe you could arrange something so that
people can use Solid as a backend for OpenSync when they use KDE 4? It
would make the hardware handling more consistent, I think.

Best regards,

Hans

I dont know what solid can do exactly. So ill just explain what opensync
would need:

OpenSync would need to monitor a variety of connection types like usb,
bluetooth, serial (if possible), irda and so on. if opensync detects a
device it would try to detect what type of device it sees exactly
(manufacturer, model, version, identifier). based on this information it
would lookup the device in a database to see what options are needed to
make the device work.

Do you know if solid would be capable of helping with this task? Another
issue: OpenSync is independent from desktops and X11. so it cannot use
anything that depends on such things.

Best Regards,
Armin
