Digital camera

I’ve got a dualboot on all my pc’s, windows/linux so I always used my DSC cam under windows. Because I thought that only cameras you could mount under linux were supported by linux… I plug it in, to test it under SUSE.. A window pops up.. A new camera is found. So it tries to open it with konqueror. It works, but konqueror crashes. I installed the gphoto program and libraries, and kamera. Started kamera, and tried to auto-detect it…. Fuck!!! God Damned! It doesn’t bloody work after the autodetection…

I tried to remain calm and tried dmesg | tail -n 50 | less. There was something rewritten about the stv068.c being loaded or something. I added a cam manually, searched in the list. STV068 was in the list…. Bingo!!! And I was able to get the pictures.. I’ll show you a screenshot of them, click to enlarge… And for the people that wonder what is on the pictures, it’s the cord of my headset, with the volume switch onthe photo too….
