It can indeed be intimidating. But it's also interesting; you might want to try it. The key is to avoid building too many drivers. Configuring only the ones you need will save a tremendous amount of time. > Am I to infer from your statement that one can't really find out how > the kernel is responding to the attachment of my camera without > turning CONFIG_USB_DEBUG on? I gather is off in the stock kernel. It's the simplest way. If your kernel has usbmon and debugfs configured then you can use them instead (see the kernel source file Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt for instructions).
