I'm looking for the same thing. I want my ipod to automount and then open with banshee. It used to do this until I compiled new kernel. cds/dvds still automount though. I think this is controlled by udev but I'm not sure. Found this:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/util...tplug/udev-FAQ
I'll have a read through and let you know if I get it solved.
update: It's not udev it's HAL.
The behavior is set in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/
HAL documentation is at:
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/hal/ha...c.html?view=co
update: Mine seems to be a kernel problem. Automount works with default kernel. So I guess there must be a missing module on my home made kernel?
