Hi,
I recently bought a very cheap ( GBP30 ) digital camera.
Now I know it was not listed as a supported device but
a number on the gphoto2 list are "silly" names
( like KBGear JamCam ) so at that price I thought I
would see what I could do.
I am running Mandrake Linux 8 ( kernel 2.4.3 -20mdk )
In fact I have tried various camera options with
gphoto2 and part of the output using the
KBGear JamCam driver is as follows :
gphoto2-port-core(2): Loaded 'Serial Port 30' (serial:/dev/ttyS30) from
'libgphoto2_port_serial.so.0.0.4'

I pressed ^C

At which point I got the following :

gphoto2-port(2): Freeing port...
gphoto2-port(2): Closing port...
gphoto2-filesystem(2): Internally deleting all folders from '/'...
Does this mean anything to anybody?
If it looks as though I may actually be getting somewhere I
would have a go at modifying the code if necessary.
thanks for any help.
