I haven't been able to do the direct connect thing with my powershot
either, I have an s400.  Pulled my hair out a while back with FC1 and
I had hoped 3 would be differrent but no.  I do not get anything in
var/log/messages that is related whatsoever.   Also I am running kde.

I don't think I have everything I need, app wise but I am having so
much trouble with yum trying to get what I need, it basically dies
every time I do anything other than yum update as a whole.  Tried to
load all 3 of those apps but it died on me.

(if my 6 mo old son willl  let me type...)                   I did go 
 into the control center, it gives me an error but that  is all.  I am
wondering if we could run the windoze drivers over wine but that would
be pretty ugly allright.  I got around this by getting a universal
card reader so it will see the medium regardless, so in my case its
not a big deal.
