2) My laptop has a built-in card reader. Is there anything I can do to get linux to detect and use it? Again it works well under windows.
The card-reader itself won't show up. when you put a memory card into it, the CARD will show up (at least with KDE, i don't know about gnome)
I thought that might be the case but putting a card in it did not invoke a response from the system; that's why I thought that there maybe something else to it.
What laptop are you working with? Maybe there is something extra that you need to do on the laptop to get the card reader working... something specific to your laptop model.
Generally speaking memory cards simply show up as an automounted drive (similar to what happens if you plug in a USB external drive or put a DVD or CD in your optical drive) when a card is plugged into the reader.
Though it works fine under 10.3, under 10.2 I had to run a lspci -s command to find out what my card reader was then a setpci command to set my card reader to be active.
