That is odd. I have seen it where the permissions in /proc/bus/usb were
wrong (current user had no read/write access) and the devices seemed to not
be available.

/prov/bus/usb ?

I think the gphoto2 list of devices are just used by digikam. If gphoto2
supports it, digikam does as well. If your gphoto2 is new, maybe it is just
not in the list digikam uses. I can check where (if) digikam keeps the list.
I would have thought it would have asked gphoto2 to provide a list at
runtime. But, it is not my code...

If I configure the camera in KDE 3.0 in KDE's CC, it only needs to be told
that it is USB. You don't need to select it from the list. I don't know if
digikam is the same. I can check this as well.

digikam is on my computer at home. I will check it out later and get back to
you.

None at all. I have never considered these.

BTW, mine has worked with kernels 2.4.19 and 2.4.20. I have not tested any
others. I guess I could test Caldera's 2.4.13 as well, but these are all I
run anywhere.
