Motorola Xoom

References

Start with

sudo apt-get install mtpfs

Create device rules for the Xoom

sudo joe /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="22b8", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666"

make the mount point, take ownership and add the mount point to fstab

sudo mkdir /media/xoom
sudo chown user:user /media/xoom	# user is you
sudo joe /etc/fstab
mtpfs        /media/xoom       fuse      user,noauto,allow_other 0 0

modify the fuse.conf to allow_other. Uncomment the last line

#allow_other

Add yourself to the fuse group

sudo joe /etc/group

Reboot

Places will now contain "xoom"

Miscellaneous stuff

To keep the screen from blanking while Xoom is plugged in go to
Settings/Applications and click "Stay Awake". There is no way to keep the screen from blanking when running on battery.
