Hi,
I choose to run freevo via a .xsession script, which means that my gdm does
not launch a gnome session, but launch freevo instead.
Moreover, I have configured an autologin user in xorg.conf, so that freevo
is started just after boot.

This situation gives me a problem concerning the automounting of usb
storages or cdrom,
as freevo is not a window manager, the usb flash drives (usb sticks, or
cameras) are not automounted any more, which is a problem because freevo do
not see it.

What can I do to correct that?

I have tried the USB_HOTPLUG hack, but the mounting is not working with it,
and moreover, as the /dev/sdxy can change between two plugs of the device,
it is quite difficult to write a generic mount command.
I heard about udev for permanent mount names, I heard about autofs for
automounting of hotplugged filesystems, ... ok, but I struggle with that for
a week, and it is not working up to now.  Also, I ask myself if autofs will
not interfere with the existing automounting feature of gnome in a standard
gnome session (for example if I connect to my mediacenter pc via a remote x
session).

What I want finally, is the sd card of my camera to be browsable by freevo
when I plug the usb cable of the camera.

Thx for your help.

LOUIS
