hello, i have an update! afaik, the camera doesn't have any other usb settings... i was able to mount it, tho, with:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/cam -t usbdevfs and then cam had three dir's, 001/, device/, and drivers/. 001/ contains three "files", numbered, but not in sequence. i first thought these were the images, but i could not read them with any application. i currently have 5 pics on the camera, not three. the other two dir's contained only camera information, as well as the current kernel modules being used to access the camera. i installed gphoto2. it kept telling my "No Such Directory". running gphoto2 in debug mode, i saw it was looking for gphoto2 where there was a gphoto2_port ... i can't remember the exact name... it was in /usr/lib, maybe. so, i created a symlink from the gphoto2_port to gphoto2, and tried it again, in debug mode. no more Directory error, but now the --list-camera tells me 0 (zero) cameras found. also, in debug mode, it looks as if certian libraries aren't being read properly - it says "failed to open ...library <library name> ... is <library name> a valid library... the gphoto2 i installed was from a woody image from back in november. i will see if i can fit the latest version on a floppy in case it has changed since then -- i'll also remove my symlink first! if anyone has any other ideas, please let me know! thanks again, jason On Tue, Feb 12, 2002 at 11:12:18PM +0100, David Karlström wrote: | I think that you have to set the camera in some special USB-mode (using the | setup-menu on the camera).
