All,

I have Suse Professional 9.3 completely updated. Kernel 2.6.11.4

I have been trying to connect my webcam GE easycamPro H098064 and my digital
camera Nikon Coolpix 2000 for some time with absolutely no luck.

I did a google search and found I should run the following command
$ dmesg | less (by the way how do you make the pipe symbol I have to cut
and paste)

I got several pages of results but these were the ones that mattered:

usbcore: registered new driver ov511
drivers/usb/media/ov511.c: v1.64 for Linux 2.5 : ov511 USB Camera Driver
usbcore: registered new driver snd-usb-audio
Vendor: NIKON Model: DSC E2000 Rev: 1.00
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
SCSI device sda: 251905 512-byte hdwr sectors (129 MB)

So Linux "sees" my webcam and "sees" my camera as a E2000...so plz tell me
how do I get it where I can see what the webcam sees as well as mount my
camera and download from it without using windoze


Thanks so much for your time

It is the symbol above the backslash \ on many keyboards.
(It looks like a colon where each dot is a short vertical line)
