What "device screen" do you mean? And where are you looking "on the
computer"? When I insert a usb stick, there's a lot of output in
/var/log/messages about the stick and the partition on it. Then I use
"mount /media/usbstick" to mount it according to the appropriate entry
in my /etc/fstab. Speaking of which, what's your /etc/fstab look like?
If you use "tail -f /var/log/messages" and then plug the device in, does
it see that it's connected?
I suspect you're talking about auto mounting, such as KDE or Gnome does;
can you manually mount them? If not, then I doubt auto mounting will
either.
