I can't seem to find my memory card reader under meego. I know that acer did something screwy with it because it doesn't show up in the bios either, but it did work under windows when I first got the computer. Anybody have any idea's on mounting the card? Its from my blackberry, which I know is a pita to mount under any linux distro...

I wonder if the Linux drivers exist for it? I see that other people are having issues under Linux for that model: http://ub-os.blogspot.com/2010/03/un...532h-2325.html

We have similar driver issues with other SD readers as you can see here: http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=28

Hmm, I kinda assumed that there was a driver for this hardware. I figured it was more of a problem with how acer mounted the hardware within the case and was hoping for a work around. Thanks for the heads up.

I kinda assumed that there was a driver for this hardware.

I found the link to download the Windows driver for the Card Reader ..

from the acer site

does anyone know how to use or 'look inside' the windows driver for the right info ??

cheers

It can be helpful to others if you post the output of the lspci and lsusb commands, to identify your card reader hardware.

Solution to Card reader issue:

Install kernel headers

# sudo yum install kernel-netbook-devel


Download driver keucr, unzip and cd to folder

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...iles/keucr.tgz


Compile & install (change your kernel version)

make -C /usr/src/kernels/2.6.33.5-28.1-netbook/ M=`pwd` modules
make -C /usr/src/kernels/2.6.33.5-28.1-netbook/ M=`pwd` modules_install
depmod -a

If you have compilation error : "implicit declaration of usb_alloc_coherent" on line 293 in usb.c

You can try to add this after the all the includes of usb.c (line 19) :

#define usb_alloc_coherent(a, b, c, d) usb_buffer_alloc(a, b, c, d)
#define usb_free_coherent(a, b, c, d) usb_buffer_free(a, b, c, d)

It worked like a charm for me. Did not even required to reboot, it worked immediately.

Works for me with kernel 2.6.33.5-28.1-netbook and meego 1.0.x

Kind regards
