I should mention as well that if OpenSUSE does not automount into /media either, then the patch is not distro-specific, it is simply incomplete,
It is complete in the part that is related to KDE3. It does not provide HAL functionality because HAL is not a part of KDE3.
as it does not provide all the functionality for pluggable media that once existed with HAL.
Yes, it needs either an auto-mounter such as devmon or udiskie started or an auto-mount udev rule enabled.
With devmon the patch works well currently on my machine. Enabling automount in udev rules comes into conflict with fsck on each boot because the devices get mounted before fsck starts which leads it to complain that the devices already mounted and unaccessible (but this may be distro-specific behavior).
