Xubuntu 7.10 on a Thinkpad T40. Trying to connect a Canon Powershot A40 camera.

I'm plugging in the camera, and it's not mounting automatically. I'm not sure what steps to take to get it working. I'm not familiar with all the steps to get from a USB device to a filesystem mount.

'lsusb' makes it appear that the system knows the camera is there. I see device files in /dev which seem to correspond to the camera. Same information shows up in dmesg. I'm used to seeing a device as something like /dev/sda, and I can mount that. I'm not sure how to do that with the multiple USB /dev files I'm seeing. (There are 4 files in /dev which appear related to the camera, /dev/usbdev2.10*, see 'ls' output below.)

The camera powered off a few times while I was poking about, and dmesg shows it was re-detected every time I powered it back on.

My iPod mounts automatically when plugged in, with either the Apple or Rockbox firmware. Is there some other module, driver, or daemon I need to install to get the same behavior from my camera?

thanks,
alex
