Maybe using a camera with an external driver from libgphoto2 isn't the best way for me to learn about hotplugging. Anyway, I think I agree with you. Even with hotplug, I don't think anything happened other than the standard usb device with no driver was created. I just had a thought, Richard. libgphoto2 uses libusb to communicate with the usb bus. It doesn't seem that libgphoto2 actually does the device work in the grepping I did for standard /proc, /sys, etc. I think libghoto2_port is the library that links to libusb. So, do you have the patched libusb that knows about /dev/bus/usb? I don't really understand how all this works, so that might be way off base. Anyway, if you want the patch, Juerg Billeter has it at paldo.org. Here's the link: http://www.paldo.org/index.php?section=packages&page=main&releaseid=26656 I'd be interested to hear if mounting /proc/bus/usb is the only workaround for this issue. This is one of the few hotplugged devices I have, so it's the hurdle I have to get past before I do the udev/kernel update. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
