For those who are curious and have a built-in SD card slot on a
notebook, here's how to enable it.

I have an HP Compaq nw9440 laptop with SUSE 10.2 and a built in
SD-MS/Pro-MMC-SM-XD card slot.

It doesn't work out of the box.

I saw this person had the same issue and solved it:

After quick investigation i have found a note related to Texas
Instruments SD MMC pci controller. The one is quite old but remains
actual for TI [and SuSE?]
for pci device:
# lspci -s 6.2
02:06.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia
Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD)
the command (now it is incorporated into /etc/init.d/boot.local)
# setpci -s 6.2 4c=0x22
MMC controller works pretty good

I ran lspci and found:

jabba:/var/log # lspci -s 6.2
02:06.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia
Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD)
jabba:/var/log #


...and then I ran setpci:

jabba:/var/log # setpci -s 6.2 4c=0x22


All is good with the world now.

Next hurdle - the built-in fingerprint reader. Not sure what use it
might be but I want it working.

Why?

Because it is there.
