It's been working for me (etch, same kernel version). I would check the following: - watch /var/log/messages (I think) to see if udev is actually recognizing your usb stick when it's plugged in, - that 'hald' is running, - that 'gnome-volume-manager' is running, and - that the appropriate "auto-mount" boxes are checked in the 'gnome-volume-properties' program. 'hald' runs as the system-user 'hal' and should start when you boot. 'gnome-volume-manager' runs as the logged in user and should start with your X session. Under earlier versions of xfce4 I had to manually start gnome-volume-manager when I logged in (autostart script). With the current version (4.3.90.2) it is started without my script. I'm not sure what mechanism is starting it now (session manager maybe?). > A little google search hinted that xffm file manager may be needed for� > usb automounting but the package appears not be present in Etch. xffm shouldn't have anything to do with it (but it might be automagically starting gnome-volume-manager if it isn't already running). -- Brad -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
