How can I get the system to automatically mount my USB device when I attach it? Most cameras can be switched from USB to PTP mode in the setup. I recommend to do so and instead of automounting it to access it via PTP (see gphoto2/digikam etc.). It's much more convenient because you can plug

Re: [gentoo-user] Automatically mounting USB mass storage devices (camera)

Thanks for the tip, though. But instead of the PTP workaround, I'll use the manual-mount workaround. Or maybe autofs. PTP is slow, *very* slow on my machine. This is a big minus. Regardless of mass storage or PTP you can write a small shell script which automates the process and copies the

I've just moved from XFree86 to xorg and updated my KDE and now my wheel mouse doesn't scroll anymore. I'm using the same mouse lines in xorg.conf that I used in Xfree86.conf, but I can't get it to work. It must be something I just don't see. Any ideas? exactly the same here. I have tried

Hi, Damn! I thought I had tried all of your suggestions Richard. Changing the protocol to ExplorerPS/2 has done the trick. Thanks for all of your help. @Ernie: Could you please post the relevant device section you use? Just for my personal interest. @Richard: Let's stop here, I will figure

Re: [gentoo-user] mouse won't scroll anymore

Re: [gentoo-user] mouse won't scroll anymore
