Some time ago I posted a patch for this [EMAIL PROTECTED] kernel for this device, because it did not work. Now, it seems, the entry is not needed anymore...
Yes, that's odd. The only thing the entry does is provide a SubClass override, which isn't needed for your camera. Is it likely that other models of the camera _do_ require the override? Or did the entry you submitted originally contain some other flag, like US_FL_START_STOP, that is no longer necessary?
Well... I've sent a patch for 2.4.something (2.4.18?), made exactly in a way it was done for some other minolta dimage models. It was an addition of some flag, too bad I don't remember which one already: in some older kernel, it wasn't working, so I keept adding the patch to my local sources, and after some iterations considered submitting a patch.. but at that time, it wasn't needed anymore, camera worked just fine on that kernel without an entry in unusual_devs. And now, either my memory is at fault (which very well may be), or that flag has been removed altogether... So, at that time, my patch didn't find it's way to the kernel because it wasn't necessary.
Doh. It was US_FL_START_STOP... ;)
Still, other comments applies. At that time (2.4.18?), there was NO entry for this camera in unusual_devs.h. Now, in 2.4 series, there IS such an entry, but it was added after someone else's note, not mine, and obviously I don't know the reason why that was done...
