Not much help here, just to mention that my old Tosh lappie has a card
slot that is disabled by the BIOS unless you're using MS Windows. So the
first question for me is 'does it recognise anything?' as I lost a *lot*
of hours trying to get that to work ):

Thanks for your input.

This thread suggests that my problem may be unsolvable;

The path of least resistance seems to be acquire an external card reader.

Cheers Ross Drummond

I have a usb card reader you can try if you are coming to Chch and you 
are using a lappie

Linux and xD memory card

2009-12-27 Thread Ross Drummond
I am trying to get my Gentoo Linux box with a built in card slot to recognise 
a Fujifilm xD memory card.

It fails to recognise this card. Nothing is written to dmesg.

What bus will this card appear on and what modules need to be loaded?

Cheers Ross Drummond
