Greetings; A neighbor came up tonight with a canon powershot A10 in hand that had some pix my missus wanted. For my own camera, its a vfat file system and all I have to do is mount it, but this camera seems to have a different mechanism. When I couldn't mount it, I tried digicam-0.6.2 which seemed to recognize the camera, but could not initialize it. Then I tried gtkam, which also says the same thing. That left XCam, which seemed to be a differently built program for video streams. Looking up the specs, it claims to be DPOF compliant, whatever that defines. Is there a special driver I need to turn on in the kernel's usb section to enable access to this device? I am familiar with building kernels, currently running 2.6.19-rc3. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Gene, have you tried accessing the thing as a mass storage unit, like a disk on key? I've connected an A-series Canon camera (A20 I think) this way. And I've never had problems with the S2 that I connect often. Also, my Fuji 5500 I connect as a mass storage device. KDE just recognises it and I use konqi to copy the files.
