Yep, same thing here rc-status: dbus hald ivman It just seems to work. A while back I tried to find accurate and current docs. That's when I got confused. It really would be nice if this was all documented well somewhere. Occassionally, a usb device is not discovered, and then I manually try to find traces of it, using a variety of usual tools. If not successful then I result to brute force searches of /dev ..... Most often, Konqueror, not my browser or choice, pops up when a unknown usb devices is popped up. That my starting point and it works most of the time. I'd personally settle for a master index of products and devices and a manual udev entry example to accompany said product/device; as a catchall type of xml/database, for the millions of devices out there..... Going from manual discover to a working udev rule, has always been a painful process for me. hth, James
