How do you handle usb > devices? I'm not sure what you asking here. What do you want to do? sudo dmesg | tail when I plug in storage to then mount them. The /dev files are fairly consistent so you could possibly setup auto mount. Otherwise, the system/programs generally handle the device and it should thus be accessible by relevant software, e.g an external USB optical drive I now use instead of fitting DVD/CD drives into every computer. The only problem I've had is hardware that gnu/linux doesn't have drivers or configuration for. E.G.1 My "Epson Perfection V350 photo" usb scanner was not recognised in xsane and I had to ferret out the "device-ids" and add them into the device file referenced for Epson scanners. E.G.2; some cheap webcam device that wasn't "supported' in gnu/linux a few years ago, but now gets bad(intermittent) access under webcamoid, but I'm not motivated to do as above as it is way down the importance list. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
