Hello everyone...


I have a Fujitsu Lifebook N3520 with a built in MemoryStick card reader and SuSE 10.1 doesn't even seem to notice that it even exists.

The other thing is that it has a + and - button that you can press to control the volume and that doesn't seem to do anything. I tried ubuntu before SuSE and that worked in ubuntu so I know it can work - maybe I somehow need to configure it but I cannot seem to figure out how.

I haven't spent a great deal of time searching the volume control thingy, but I have done extensive searching in the Suseforum.org and Novell forums for the memory stick reader problem.


Thank you!

Is the memorystcik reader properitory hardware or attached to the USB bus?
Maybe post info from the command ' lspci '

For sound are you using gnome or kde?

I will check out the results of 'lspci' when I get home to work on it...

For the sound, I am using Gnome. Would Kde be a better environment?

Thanks for the reply..

I am only familiar with KDE enviroment. Not a big gnome user.

I have a sony laptop with a builtin memory stick reader, it's not supported by linux either. There just aren't drivers. If you're using suse 10.1 check if the package "ial" is installed, it makes some of the buttons "just work".
