Hi y'all, need some help as I'm totally stumped on this one...

Just moved over to Linux Red Hat 9 and I love it, but can't find drivers for my digital camera. I had trouble using it under Windows as it doesn't seem to rate very highly on the support side of things.

I have a Godmans G-Shot 2025 TFT digital camera plugged into a USB port.

USB is working fine as my cable modem is active and working great.

Just can't find any Linux support for this camera and Goodmans don't offer driver support online and there is no technical support contact details for them.

Any thoughts from anyone would be gratefully accepted!

You could try what I have done with a couple of cameras, USB memory sticks etc. It may not work for your camera....but then again it might.


1) Plug it in.

2) With any luck you should have USB enabled in your kernel (either built in or via module).

3) The camera should appear as the first unused SCSI device on your system, unless you already have some it will probably be /dev/sda1, so mount it like:
# mkdir /mnt/camera
to create the mount point if you haven't already done so.
# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera
If the above doesn't work you can try:
# mount -t usbfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera
or
# mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera

4) You should now be able to browse through /mnt/camera and view your pictures. If all went well you can add an entry to your /etc/fstab file so in the future all you need to type is:
# mount /mnt/camera

Here is the entry in my fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera auto user,noauto,owner 0 0
