Neither of these has been established.
Both he and I are running STV680 based cameras, which after much banging through the USB Digital Camera HOWTO, are not compatible with the USB Mass Storage method. The only thing I've found to work with my camera is pencam2, which isn't yet available as a deb, must be run as root, and must be run *without* the STV680 module installed (NB. my /etc/usbmgr/usbmgr.conf file had to be editted to add the line for the vendor and product number - interestingly, the same one. Wouldn't perchance be a Cool-iCam, would it?) The source is available at: http://stv0680-usb.sourceforge.net/pencam2-0.65.tar.gz and with the inclusion of the libusb-dev package, compiles cleanly. Pencam2 is text-only so far. Unfortunately, I haven't found STV680 support in anything else to the extent that would permit the use of the camera as anything semi-intelligent - while zapping, xawtv and GnomeMeeting will take a feed from it, the camera crashes after 20 images (its normal capacity) and take down all usb devices. Restarting usbmgr doesn't help. At least for this model, its driver needs to clear the memory between each separate frame - sometime soon I hope to have the time to write and submit that patch. > > > My setup is slightly different, I have a smartmedia card reader which > > I have plugged the smartmedia card from my camera in to it - but I > > believe that many camera models do the same. > > What make/model of SmartMedia reader do you have?
