Kodak DX4530
Sid
kernel		2.6.8 home-rolled
GNOME 		2.6.x
udev 		0.042-1  (no custom rules)
discover1	1.7.3
discover1-data	1.2004.11.09
gtkam		0.1.12-2.1
gphoto2		2.1.4-4
libgphoto2-2	2.1.4-8

gtkam detects the camera with no problems, and allows me to save &
delete the images.  HTH.

Actually, I don't think that libgphoto2-2 cares whether udev or
discover1 is installed.
