If this works, then is it that it doesn't do it automatically with gnome that is your complaint? The first usb disk also did not show much 'info' in the logs which makes me think that (run as root) 'update-pciids' may help. Sometimes folks hack the pci ids database to force an unknown, newer device to be treated like a known, older device. cheers, Kev -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal |mysite.verizon.net/kevin.mark/| | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keysever: subkeys.pgp.net | my NPO: cfsg.org |
