Hi,
once upgrading to FC5 I lost my ability as a user to use my digital camera.
Everything works still fine if I use it as root. As a used, from gphoto2
--debug I got

I'm confident that the problem with permission. In FC4 the hotplug was
used which setup such permission.
What's the equivalent in FC5. I read about udev and even was able to
write two rules,
one for my usb stick and another for my camera. The problem is that my
camera is not
mounted as USB drive, I need to use software in order to download my
pictures.
From past experience I have suspisious that it may be related to wrong
SELinux settings, I may be wrong though.
The problem is most likely related to permissions for the device and may
not have anything to do with SELinux.
The best way to eliminate SELinux from the "suspect list" is to run
'setenforce 0' in a root terminal. This will put SELinux in permissive
and will log errors in the audit log or /var/log/messages. You should be
able to access your pictures if it is SELinux.
The removal of hotplug effected several programs because of the needs
udev (I am guessing) must do to do what hotplug was doing before.
I know that gnomad2 and some scanners were fixed. I don't recall if
there were fixes for camera software. It would be good to look in
bugzilla for bugs related to cameras since FC5 and no hotplug.

I would appreciate any feedback on this issue.
