It might sound funny, but you are turning the camera on once connected, aren't you?
I've tried it both ways - no reaction.
Debian testing, with a 2.4.27 kernel? Why not Debian stable with a 2.6.8 kernel and do you have hotplug+udev?
Because I want Debian Testing and if I try to use a 2.6 kernel on this machine I have to wait 2 - 3 minutes before it starts to boot. I've seen others report this problem but have not yet seen any suggested solution so I'm sticking with 2.4 kernels.
I do have Hotplug but udev requires a 2.6 kernel.
Have you tried usbview - USB device viewer it gives some useful information, on the usb devices connected
I've tried the KDE info viewer which lists USB devices. The camera doesn't show.
I suggest you experiment a bit, along the lines of:
<snip>
Is there a /proc/scsi/scsi ? (there shouldn't be).
Why shouldn't there be? I do have a SCSI hard drive and a SCSI tape drive. SCSI disc support is built into the kernel i.e. not a module. I have tried experimenting by unloading all modules and then loading the mouse modules only followed by usb-storage to no avail. Having searched on the web I see that the E10 is supported as a USB Storage device and that, once the usb-storage module is loaded, it should register with the system but it doesn't. Hence my post here.
I'm moderately baffled.
