In my /etc/fstab I have the following line: none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs devuid=0,devgid=102,devmode=0660 0 0 This line said that I want to mount automatically (at boot time) the usb devives filesystem at the mount point /proc/bus/usb with the userid 0 the group id 102 and the mode 0660 (for all files in this filesystem). Then when this filesystem is mounted you will see files appears when you plug a device. These files are used by the userland tool to use you camera. gphoto2 use the library libusb to access your usb device. So you need to mount correctly usbdevfs, install gphoto2-2.0beta5 (which is in sid now) and libusb0 (version >= 0.1.5) and then when you are ready send me a mail. You camera is not supported in the last beta but could be use with a special option that we will determine together. If we succeed using your camera then it will be easy to add it in the supported cameras list.
