8-in-1 Card Reader, HAL, dbus, and/or udev
The last remaining thing that I need to get working in Slack 12 is my SanDisk 8-in-1 card reader. Here is what is happening so far:
1) On boot up the reader is found. The extra LUNs are scanned for and all four are found. 2) If I put a Compact Flash card in the reader, KDE pops a box up asking me what to do with it. All works as it should. 3) If I put a Secure Digital card in the reader, I get this in /var/log/messages (as it should): Code:
Jul 13 15:14:09 skyron kernel: sd 0:0:0:2: [sdc] 3970048 512-byte hardware sectors (2033 MB) Thanks in advance, Matt |
Hi,
Check out the Writing udev rules in the New 'Slackware-Links' Wiki. This should help you in writing the rules for priority. |

For the time being, I have added this line to my fstab:
Code:
/dev/sdc1 /media/sd vfat noauto,user 0 0 *Update* Actually, now that I added it to my fstab, HAL automatically mounts Secure Digital cards to /media/sd. Not exactly the same thing, but it works. |
right, and it shows on your desktop (if you activated that option). Same happens with remote smbfs in the fstab (I'm liking HAL at the moment :) )

*Update* Well, according to SanDisk technical support, my reader should work just fine with a 2G card. The reader is in fact the SanDisk Imagemate 8-in-1, model SDDR-88. The card itself is SanDisk as well. |
