I have a mini-USB cable, but simply connecting a Motorola RAZR 
to a Linux (Centos 6) PC to download stored pictures doesn't work, 
at least not automatically.

Any idea what I need to do to get Centos to recognize that a 
Motorola RAZR V3 is plugged in as a USB device?

(I don't have a data plan on this phone - I'm just trying to get 
archived pictures off of it onto the computer.)
