Kodak CX7300

I have been scouring the internet looking for anything that would be of use to me in getting my Kodak 7300 to work with Linux. I'm using Debian [Sid] with kernel 2.6.10. If my memory serves me correctly, I had my camera working about a year ago on Mandrake or Fedora Core 2.

I have found nothing so far. When I used KDE's hardware utility to add a camera device, it had problems seeing the camera itself [which was connected and turned on]. However, when I run "lsusb", I can see the camera just fine.

Any help/ideas?

You'd probably be scouring a heck of a lot faster if you mentioned wether it was a CX, DS, DX, DC, LS, LX, MC, or Q before the number?

Other than that, the grand total of time for getting this camera to work (for a suse user) is about 10 seconds. This is the amount of time it takes to turn the camera on, plug it in, and have gtkam run automatically...

(That would be assuming it's the CX-7300 which apparantly the most common variety.)

What do you mean? I did say that it was a CX 7300. I have gtkam downloaded, but when I try to add my camera, it says that it cannot initialize the device.

But yet lsusb still recognizes it...?

Whoa.. dude.. that's cool. Guess I can't see subjects that late at night. lol

Cannot recognize device. Did you check to see if linux was mounting it as a /dev/sd? device? It's been known to do that with camera's...
