I just installed Mandrake 8.1 on a new system, and all the hardware was recognized and worked with no messing around - except for trying to connect a camera to the USB port. I think I may even know what the problem is, but I don't know what to do about it.
The list of supported cameras has an entry for "Canon PowerShot Pro90 SI." When I cold start the system with the camera attached, an entry is created for it in /proc/bus/usb/devices (along with those for the 2 USB ports) - multiple lines, one of which identifies it as a "Canon PowerShot Pro90 IS," which is correct. No driver is identified. That seems reasonable, because if the camera type is being compared to some list with the "IS" part reversed, it isn't ever going to match. Is there any way I can fix this? I have another question too. To transfer pictures from the camera, do I always have to shut down the system and reboot? Or once the proper driver is identified will I be able to plug in the camera "on the fly?" Some sort of mount, maybe? Gail Koontz [EMAIL PROTECTED] 836 Mallard Rd.
