Thanks people I originally tried to send this on 6th October, but gmane/sympa are conspiring against me. Her's another try: Harddrake doesn't appear to show the camera at all. It has always been plugged directly to the computer (no hub). I don't have any usb1 ports on the laptop. A little more info. I bought a card reader yesterday and it will mount as /dev/sda1, so there is no absolute requirement for direct access to the camera, but I would like to enable it for flexibility if possible. Seems there is a problem with the configuration of the chip in the camera itself. With camera plugged in /proc/scsi/scsi is empty. Thanks Russell -- Russell Butler Registered Linux user 334674
