I've found KDE's own system, using HAL, D-BUS and pmount to be excellent. > Anyway, I've looked into using hal,dbus and "media:/" in konqueror... > It works to a degree, but the hal daemon has a nasty habit of polling > the cd card/pcmcia to such a degree that autofs won't unmount the then > when you're done... That's probably because you're running two automounters, which are conflicting. You don't need autofs, and probably should not run it, when using KDE's system. The KDE system is also more flexible in that you can specify default or automatic actions for different types of media; open a file manager window for a USB stick, run Kaffeine for a video DVD etc. -- Neil Bothwick I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.
