I just tried it, works fine. I plugged it in and KDE4 popped up a "new device plugged in" box showing USB Imaging Interface. I clicked it and Digikam popped up and showed me the pictures on the camera, and I was able to copy them to my PC. I'm using all the newest ~amd64 version of everything... so while that doesn't necessarily rule our your xorg woes, at least I know that the /new/ version of everything doesn't break it. I have /etc/udev/rules.d/70-libgphoto2.rules which was generated by gphoto2. My user is in the plugdev group and has access to the device node for the camera. $ gphoto2 --auto-detect Model Port ---------------------------------------------------------- Canon Digital IXUS 750 (PTP mode) usb: Canon Digital IXUS 750 (PTP mode) usb:001,036 (IXUS 750 is known as SD550 in the United States) dmesg showed this when I plugged it in: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 36 usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=04a9, idProduct=3116 usb 1-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 usb 1-4: Product: Canon Digital Camera usb 1-4: Manufacturer: Canon Inc. usb 1-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice When plugging it in, udev shows this: # udevadm monitor monitor will print the received events for: UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing KERNEL - the kernel uevent KERNEL[1239840372.308016] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.1/usb1/1-4 (usb) KERNEL[1239840372.310580] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.1/usb1/1-4/1-4:1.0 (usb) UDEV [1239840372.310666] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.1/usb1/1-4 (usb) KERNEL[1239840372.311815] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.1/usb1/1-4/1-4:1.0/usb_endpoint/usbdev1.37_ep81 (usb_endpoint) KERNEL[1239840372.313347] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.1/usb1/1-4/1-4:1.0/usb_endpoint/usbdev1.37_ep02 (usb_endpoint) KERNEL[1239840372.313442] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.1/usb1/1-4/1-4:1.0/usb_endpoint/usbdev1.37_ep83 (usb_endpoint) KERNEL[1239840372.313517] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.1/usb1/1-4/usb_endpoint/usbdev1.37_ep00 (usb_endpoint) UDEV [1239840372.313623] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.1/usb1/1-4/1-4:1.0 (usb) UDEV [1239840372.314474] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.1/usb1/1-4/1-4:1.0/usb_endpoint/usbdev1.37_ep81 (usb_endpoint) UDEV [1239840372.315209] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.1/usb1/1-4/1-4:1.0/usb_endpoint/usbdev1.37_ep02 (usb_endpoint) UDEV [1239840372.315982] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.1/usb1/1-4/usb_endpoint/usbdev1.37_ep00 (usb_endpoint) UDEV [1239840372.335215] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.1/usb1/1-4/1-4:1.0/usb_endpoint/usbdev1.37_ep83 (usb_endpoint)
