Hi,

Several processes:-

Do you run fvwm? Is that even dbus-aware?
I don't really know how it all fits in, but I'd have thought you'd need a dbus-aware desktop environment to be able to get the automatic "new device! what do you want to do with it?" notification. Gnome does it, as does KDE. But for eg. fluxbox does not (AFAIK).
I have just tried a USB card reader and that *does* work, when I plug in a window pops up with "A photo card has been detected", so I am making progress at last.
Now to see if the camera is detected....
*Yes*, it is detected! :-)
Thanks all for your help, it seems that all I needed to do was to run gnome-volume-manager as all the other required bits were already in place. What I hadn't done after running gnome-volume-manager was to check to see if it was automagically working, I was expecto either see something happen when I started gnome-volume-manager or to have to configure something.
As I said, thanks everyone, all I have to do now is get gnome-volume-manager started automatically, I guess I can just add it in the same way as I have added gnome-panel to my fvwm start-up.
