You might want to take a look at this, how to use udev rules. This way you are not dependent on any GUI support. In fact, no extra packages are required. http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html -- -- Robin Atwood

I run Windowmaker here, using Thunar, with it's requirements, as a file manager with the plugin Thunar-volman and it detects USB drives without problems.

Re: [gentoo-user] Automounting of USB drives
The kernel automounter (autofs) was not designed with removable media in mind, so it's not the best choice for the job. Nearly all Linux desktops today come with a hal/dbus based solution for mounting USB devices on demand. Thanks for the info and suggestions from others, since I am using gnome, I will look into gnome-volume-manager to take care of removable media for me.
