I sortof remembered them, but have never had a camera that supported

Oops - typo on my part - should be:
gphoto2 --auto-detect --set-config capture=1
(capture, not capure)
At least it picks the right model, and you can see the pics :) I'm
really curios to see if you can put the A75 into capture mode - I
could then (probably) rule out underlying conflicts and focus on
gphoto/libptp.
Thanks,
