[gentoo-user] Sansa Clip+

[gentoo-user] Sansa Clip+

[sean]

Hello All,

	My son just purchased a Sansa Clip+ and from what I read it is supposed
to be accessible in Linux, it would look like a USB drive for drag and drop.

Anyway, I updated the firmware to the latest, and set the USB mode on
the Clip+ to MSC.

I am wondering if I need to setup support in the kernel, or something else?

Any tips anyone?

	Thanks
	Sean

Do you do yet the obvious first step, which is to plug in it and see what 
happens?

If so, what happened?
If not, do so, then post what happened.

I have a Sansa Fuze (in MSC mode) and I can confirm it's working as long 
as I have "USB Mass Storage" support enabled in the kernel and my user 
is in the "usb" and "plugdev" groups.

If that won't work, please do the following

dmesg -c (as root)

Now plug the device in and wait for about 10 seconds.  Then:

dmesg

and post the output.

That's strange. I have a Sansa Clip (although not the + model) and I
get the following message after plugging the device:

Did you enable USB in your kernel?

I have the Sansa Clip + in MSC mode, though have tried the other two modes.

The tail end of my last few connects, and disconnects.
Not sure of how much to include.

Sure did, USB memory sticks work fine, and I believe they work on the
same principal as the Clip+.

I attached dmesg output into another reply.
