Just did that and nothing more useful than before. Does there have to be a driver or file for the specific phone either in the kernel or somewhere in the distro? I assume the answer to that would be, "Well duh, yeah," that devices must be recognized rather than created on the fly.
Not quite "duh, yeah" - sometimes devices don't need specific drivers, but can be supported by drivers that support the _type_ of device.
I do notice that there is no sync program of any kind nor any mention of it in the phone manual so perhaps, even though the OS of the phone is linux-based, it is not intended for access. It has programs like a calendar and so on, but makes no mention of sync-ing with a desktop for either backup or file copy or just ease of entering info into either and sync-ing with both.
Though the fact that it has a USB interface would seem to suggest something like that.
I am taking "registered" here to mean recognize or see, rather than create a major and minor number and assign a device name for access, since those are not part of the log.
Correct - it basically means the device is working on the USB bus.
Thanks for your continued interest and suggestions.
My pleasure - these cases are always good fun. Bit of a challenge to take ones mind of things and such. I'm off to go check out the usb-storage driver. /Per Jessen, Zürich
