Package: hal
Version: 0.4.7-3
Severity: wishlist
How do I get additions into the upstream, in my case Debian, hal package?
Here is the first one. I have in the past made others, but there not handy
now. I did an update-usbids to get my camera working, the usb database had
the vendor code for Kodak and a device for DX4530. I was surprised that
just the fact that it was a Kodak device didn't trigger hal->gvm.
Here is what I added to preferences.fdi.
<device>
<match key="info.bus" string="usb">
<match key="usb.vendor_id" int="0x040a">
<match key="usb.product_id" int="0x0576">
<merge key="info.category" type="string">camera</merge>
<merge key="info.capabilities" type="string">camera</merge>
<merge key="camera.access_method" type="string">storage</merge>
</match>
</match>
</match>
</device>
This fixed every thing for me. It seams easy enuff to remove the check for
usb.product_id and only add it for devices made dy vid 0x040a that don't
work as cameras. This would kill alot with one stone and still allow other
kodak devices to work, once they heve been submitted.
