Hi guys,
I am facing an issue with my Sony DSC-P150 digital camera on my notebook,
which runs Slack 10. Now the same camera runs on my other desktops which are
a composite environment, consisting of Suse, Mandrake and Fedora
installations. It supports both PTP and USB Mass Storage. It also supports
PictBridge but I have never tried my hand at it.
However, this camera just refuses to work on my notebook. This is what I do
and get.

Now "vfat" works for me on my desktops! But since it doesnt work on my
notebook I tried "usbfs", which gives me strange results.

I did an lsmod to see if I had all the relevant modules loaded, and everything
looked fine to me...

Now I guess the solution to this may be awfully simple, but I really need some
help to find that !!;) Obviously I have some configuration wrong and since
this is the first time I am fiddling with a digicam on my on computer, I am
stuck for ideas.
And yes, I have tried PTP, via gphoto2 and digikam, but woefully enough, that
doesnt seem to work either. The strangest part is that /proc/bus/usb/devices
doesnt exit.
