Christmas gift

Hi all

My mom gave me one of those "could come in handy" || "really need to get him something" christmas gift. It's a small miniature camera that actually works and has an USB connector on it. I can't really find a manufacturer and it doesn't really have a name besides "mini digital camera".

Now the problem is, one of these days my mother is going to step in my room and want see how it works. Right now it doesn't.

Linux detects the USB device, but it isn't detected as an USB mass storage device Output from dmesg:

usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

I've taken some pictures of the device:

Does anyone recognize this toy? Are there tools to access this device?

Thanks

Glenn

Re: Christmas gift

have you tried

udevinfo -a -p /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.4/usb1/1-1

the udevinfo will give much more detail so that you may write a rule to mount it as /dev/sda#

have you tried a camera specific package "gtkam" works real nice for cameras

just a few thoughts
