Okay, I have the abovementioned camera, which the Digikam port supports through libgphoto2(that very camera is mentioned). When I plug the cam in, turn it on, and set it to Playback mode, I get a kernel message acknowledging its presence, complete with model info, on ugen2. However, no matter how much I try to fiddle with permissions on that device(while making sure the camera doesn't turn off), I can't get any software to connect to it. I've had a similar problem with my scanner, and I noticed that xsane states NOT to have the kernel drivers loaded. However, the kernel driver for ugen is compiled into the GENERIC kernel. Before I recompile the source tree and kernel, is it at all possible that keeping that driver out of the kernel(and just using kldload if I should need it) would allow sane and libgphoto2 to work properly? This would be my first time rebuilding the kernel, and I'm also trying to convince FreeBSD to work with my Mitsumi ATAPI CD-R without much success, so I'm rather hesitant about all this - though the source tree and kernel both compiled okay, I haven't yet installed them. -BB
