Hello, Description of problem: It seems the integrated multi-format card-reader on Dell Inspiron 1520 notebook is not supported/recognised. Reader seems to be manufactured by Ricoh. The 8-in-1 memory card reader reads the following memory cards: * Secure Digital (SD) * SDIO * MultiMediaCard (MMC) * Memory Stick * Memory Stick PRO * xD-Picture Card * Hi Speed-SD * Hi Density-SD (http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins1520/en/om_en/html/cardread.htm#wp1063919) Inserting a test xD card in the reader doesn't mount it - no icon shows up on the desktop. Here is the smolt hardware profile of Dell Inspiron 1520: http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=28caf2c3-9766-4fe1-9e4c-d6b0ba8a0132 and here is the full output of /sbin/lspci -vv http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=152717 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.23-5.fc8 How reproducible: Always. Actual results: Integrated card-reader on Dell Inspiron 1520 is not recognised. Expected results: Integrated card-reader should have hardware support. Inserting a card when running in X mode should mount it automatically and a new icon should appear on the desktop. A canonical way to manually mount/unmount the cards when in text mode should be provided, including a way to find out card-reader's device name. Regards, Răzvan
Only SD cards work, there is no kernel support for any other type. Upstream developers know about this already.
