The Kodak EasyShare Z915 can be used with libgphoto2-2.4.2 and gphoto2-2.4.2 on a Linux Slackware 12.1 ([lib]gphoto2 compiled from sources).
I've just use the -P option to get pictures and videos ; I don't have do other tests.
lsusb output when camera is plugged :
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 040a:05cf Kodak Co.

thanks, i have added the id to our lists.
the generic ptp matcher should have found the camera, and also handled the permissions already, but perhaps slackware needs the id. modification those files was fine :)
