I got a bit more information by running g-v-m from a terminal window. It does receive the events from hal and try to process them, but it isn't quite working. The device contains a FAT16 file system.
If the device is plugged in when g-v-m starts, it WILL mount it. However if it's plugged in later, it won't. Here's where I start g-v-m with the device unplugged: manager.c/1151: mount_all: mounting /dev/hda1 Error: device /dev/hda1 is not removable manager.c/1151: mount_all: mounting /dev/hda2 Error: device /dev/hda2 is not removable manager.c/1151: mount_all: mounting /dev/hda3 Error: device /dev/hda3 is not removable manager.c/1151: mount_all: mounting /dev/hda4 Error: device /dev/hda4 is not removable manager.c/1151: mount_all: mounting /dev/hda5 manager.c/557: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/block_3_5 already mounted, not mounting again manager.c/1151: mount_all: mounting /dev/hda6 Warning: device /dev/hda6 is already handled by /etc/fstab, supplied label is ignored mount: only root can mount /dev/hda6 on none Now plug it in: manager.c/818: New Device: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pcmcia_0.0 libhal.c 911 : Error sending msg: No property info.capabilities on device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pcmcia_0.0 libhal.c 911 : Error sending msg: No property info.capabilities on device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pcmcia_0.0 manager.c/818: New Device: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/ide_2_0 libhal.c 911 : Error sending msg: No property info.capabilities on device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/ide_2_0 libhal.c 911 : Error sending msg: No property info.capabilities on device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/ide_2_0 manager.c/818: New Device: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/block_33_0 manager.c/818: New Device: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/block_33_1 manager.c/854: Changed: /dev/hde1 manager.c/797: Added: /dev/hde1 Error: could not determine real path of the device: No such file or directory Not sure what that means.
