Using Suse 9.3 and 10.1. I have two serial ports. Only one can be used and is connected with my modem. The other serial port is not working. I have recently bought an USB serial cable and now want to use that cable to make a connection with my camera. In Digikam my camera is included but there is no choice of USB, Serial it is. I could insert a camera port path. The camera mount path is grayed out. Is there a possibility to tell Digikam the the serial port path is "whatever" and symlink that port to the USB port from the cable. How do I find out the path to mount the USB?

I didn't need to do that: I just connected my Camera via USB and used "Camera / Add Camera / Auto-Detect". Worked like a charm, it detected my IXUS 800 immediately. I use digikam from Packman, but I think that the SuSE-version does the same. While I'm on it; I have problems with imlib2-1.2.2-0.pm.0 from Packman, which outputs error messages for all images from my Camera, and shows only black in the edit/view window. So you might want to try the SUSE-Version first (imlib2-1.1.1-9; that works at my brother's computer), and don't do an update.
