on Sun, 22 Feb 2004 16:33:56 -0700*** I have an older Lexar Media card reader that I use to read my compact flash cards. I recently switched from XP to SuSE 9 running KDE 3.1.4. How do I gain access to my card reader under Linux?
easiest way is to have a card in the drive when you plug it in... other than that it's mount and umount, BUT, you will not be able to mount the reader if/when it is cardless, there is nothing to mount...
I understand, but what device do I mount? I tried plugging the card reader in with a card in it, but nothing appeared to happen for about a minute while I waited. Did I not wait long enough? What should I be looking for to change when it's working right? It galled me, but I had to go to Windows to get the job done. :-( -- Bill Lugg Milstar Software Support Peterson AFB, CO Editor, The Western Railroader A publication of the Pacific Coast Chapter, Railway & Locomotive Historical Society

If it is a multicard reader, it will depend on what card you have in.

The best and easiest way is to open an xterm and run tail -f /var/log/messages, and watch it when you plug it in. When you see it has been recognized, run fdisk -l to know exactly what drive it is, then mount the drive.

It will work like another drive. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM. I say, by the grace of God, I am what I am.
