I have two new USB devices. One a camera and the other a card reader. I have two different installs of Fedora, actually 3 including dual boot, but F7 and F8 are in use. The new devices are recognized on F8 and not on F7. When reviewing the files in /usr/share/hal/ for F8 I find the camera defined in one of the files. But cutting to the chase here is my question. Is the recognition of a particular piece of USB hardware dependent on the kernel or the hal and/or hwdata definitions? The reason I ask is that I am considering downloading the F8 source for hal and the hwdata and compiling them on F7 for my current kernel version. Has anyone done this or do you think I'm asking for trouble?
