When you install gphoto2, it installs a whole lot of camera drivers (looks like about 50) in /usr/lib/gphoto2.. it 'just worked' for me (: Occasionally gphoto2 has trouble detecting your camera, but the solution for that for me was to go into /usr/lib/gphoto2 and delete all of the drivers for cameras that i know arent mine.

I'm pretty sure you don't even need umass for photo2. gphoto2 should just work.

I haven't ever used USB with FreeBSD, so I don't have a lot of experience with dealing with USB in general. I'e got the same general questions as Will Yardley, except that I'd like more on the card reader. I've never used my USB ports--anywhere. If I go down to CompUSA and ask the clerk for a compact-flash card reader, will t come with the cabling? Does the card fit into the m'board? (700MHz Intel-i815, circa 2001). I'm not worried about the software end of things; only the hardware interface. thanks, gary PS: FWIW, we're looking at the Fuji 3800. It has a USB cable; not sure how everything fits together... . -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public service Unix ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
