ARToolkit problems with Ubuntu 9.10

In our project we have the ARToolkit installed on several machines, and not all machines have problems with the V4L version of the toolkit, so you could try out the V4L version before resorting to the GStreamer version.

Just found this post which deals with the exact same problem that I have been fighting with…

Synchronize Sony Ericsson K610i with Ximian Evolution on Ubuntu

Synchronize Sony Ericsson K610i with Mozilla Sunbird on Ubuntu

I just wanted to write a quick howto, since it took me a while to dig this information up on the Net. The phone is a Sony Ericsson K610i and it’s being synced with Mozilla Sunbird 0.5 calendar via Bluetooth.
