For desktop application (because we are GTK+ forum) there is HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/hal to receive events and informations from devices and the kernel, gnome-volume-manager use HAL to know when a device has been attached then do some task that the user has defined (eg. mount).

Right now, I'm polling for changes, but that isn't the "right" way to handle device discovery. Is there a way to get a notification when something happens in the usb world? Thanks in advance. -Garth -- Garth Upshaw Garth's KidStuff _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list _____________________________________________________________ Listen to KNAC, Hit the Home page and Tune In Live! ---> http://www.knac.com _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
