I have a litlle problem - I don`t know how to set up a MT-409 Camera under DSL linux. I have downloaded gtcam from MyDSL, but there is only MT-406 which doesn`t work with MT-409.Finally - sorry for my "English" if somebody can`t read this

Hmm...

Aparently it works in "mass storage camera mode" as a flash memory device.

You may be able to get it to work as a webcam with this driver:

No guarantees.

With zr364xx doesn`t work

. This camera should be detected as a "mass storage" automaticaly at boot time? Or I need to do something more?Under Windows it works exactly as a "mass storage device",so i think under Linux it should be similar.

If your device is a standard mass storage supported hardware, then it should work automatically.

However, you should boot up your computer with the device already plugged in.

This way, the DSL autodetection routine will find it and assign a mountpoint to it.

Then you should be able to open the Emelfm file manager and navigate to the /mnt folder.

Then you find something like "sda1" and right-click on it. Choose "Mount" from the menu and then your files (pictures) and folders from the camera should appear.

When you are finished and want to unplug your device, move back up to the /mnt folder and then right-click on "sda1" again and choose "Unmount". Wait a second and then you can unplug your device.
