MINOLTA DiMAGE 7

Introduction

This page contains Information on connecting a Minolta Dimage 7 to your gentoo-computer.

Kernel configuration

The Linux-kernel doesn't support this device "out of the box", but with some editing from one file of the kernel, it works very well. Just ad this text to unusual.devs:

File: /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/storage/unusual.devs

UNUSUAL_DEV( 0x0686, 0x4006, 0x0001, 0x0001,
             "Minolta",
             "DiMAGE 7",
             US_SC_SCSI, US_PR_DEVICE, NULL,
             0 ),

UNUSUAL_DEV( 0x0686, 0x400b, 0x0001, 0x0001,
             "Minolta",
             "DiMAGE 7i",
             US_SC_SCSI, US_PR_DEVICE, NULL,
             0 ),

UNUSUAL_DEV( 0x0686, 0x400f, 0x0001, 0x0001,
             "Minolta",
             "DiMAGE 7Hi",
             US_SC_SCSI, US_PR_DEVICE, NULL,
             0 ),

After this. you have to make shure you kernel has the necessary options turned on.
