Sony DSC T10 Digital camera [SOLVED]

[coolsnowmen]

Turns out the autodetect feature on the camera sucks, and you need to go into the menu, AFTER plugging in the usb cable, and select the mode, then both the new gphoto2 and standard usb-storage ways of accessing the device work
thanks to those who helped...


Previous problem
I can't get my sony camera to create a device that I could mount as a usb storage device
It must be a kernel option I don't understand As It looks like other people have gotten it to work.

lsusb shows this:
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 054c:0010 Sony Corp. DSC-S30/S70/S75/F505V/F505/FD92 Cybershot/Mavica Digital Camera

dmesg shows this:
usb 1-7: default language 0x0409
usb 1-7: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 1-7: Product: Sony DSC
usb 1-7: Manufacturer: Sony
usb 1-7: uevent
usb 1-7: configuration #1 chosen from 2 choices
usb 1-7: adding 1-7:1.0 (config #1, interface 0)
usb 1-7:1.0: uevent
drivers/usb/core/inode.c: creating file '008'

but it doesn't create a device...

I have everything I can think of enabled! perhaps a kernel version and .config would give me a place to start of anyone who has gotten this usb device to work.

Don't know if it will help you or not, since the camera I dealt with was a Sony DSC-P32 Cybershot MPEGMovieVX...I would assume there may be some similarities, maybe not. Anyrate, below is a list of stuff I am running, seems to work well for me. Not knowing how your kernel .config is setup, did you enable SCSI disc support? What kernel version are you running, and what is your .config options? Have you gotten other USB devices to work on this same setup?

Thank you for the reply

I definitly have other usb and sata devices created, and mounting.
kernel version: 2.6.18-gentoo-r6 (I recentlyy upgraded in attempts to fix this problem I was using 17)

Here is what I feel are the relevent sections of my .config (I could post the whole thing but I'm trying to help)

It looks like this camera might be too new. But the strange thing is, windows adds the device just fine as if no prior information should be needed. <sigh>

I've found where I think the kernel deals with this line of cameras.
Does anyone know more about how to add new entries to
drives/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h ?

update: it looks like the the new gphoto supports the sony dsc t10 for ptp mode...I wonder when the ebuild will be out for it...or if I could edit the old one...

It is versions 2.3 and came out dec 24th, ....
oooO it looks like there is an ebuild already posted on bugs.gentoo.org I'll have to try that out

So I'm going to abandon the mass-storage section temporarily in attempts to learn gphoto2. I don't think I really understand what it does...it has no gui?
