I got this electrical key-chain from work (with a little screen and slide show) and i want to change the images in it.
i don't have the key-chain type, it's something totally generic no-name thing.
this is lsusb output

Code:

Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 046d:c05a Logitech, Inc. Optical Mouse M90
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:c31c Logitech, Inc. 
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 023: ID 1908:1315  
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04f2:a13d Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

this line "Bus 001 Device 023: ID 1908:1315"
is the device.
my kernel 2.6.35.14-106.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP

suggestions?

When you plug it in, does it show up as being assigned a device node in

Code:

# dmesg | tail

Does it add any additional disk partitions in

Code:

# fdisk -l

If it does, you should be able to mount the file system normally.

Other than that, i have no idea. Perhaps it requires proprietary software, I dont imagine these kind of things have much Linux support.

FYI Fedora 14 reached its end of life on 2011-12-09. You will not be able to get anymore updates.

A quick search shows that gphoto2 2.4.11 supports ax203 based picture frames.

Never played with picture frames.

Seems like newer gphoto supports this.

1908: Manufacturer - Gembird
1315: hmmmph, they do list 1320 in the usb.ids I haveand that's a Gembird PhotoFrame PF-15-1

Try for the latest usb.ids on sourceforge, or run /usr/sbin/update-usbids.sh
Then go looking for drivers, modules etc.
