Hello,
I have installed CentOS 5 (2.6.18-53.1.4.el5) on my new Acer Extensa 5220 notebook and everything seems to work fine except of the following: 1) Display is ok, but could maybe be better? The driver is set to 'vesa' but should be 'intel', in my opinion. But 'intel' isn't working in xorg.conf. 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 2) The 5-in-1 Card Reader isn't working. 0f:06.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) 0f:06.3 Generic system peripheral [0805]: Texas Instruments PCIxx12 SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller 3) The wlan card isn't detected, but that's no problem. I will buy a ralink rt61 based pcmcia card which works great under my toshiba tecra notebook with CentOS 5. 04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) 4) Suspend; not tested this yet
So the only real problem is 2). Is there a possibility to get this 5-in-1 Card Reader working under CentOS 5? Thank you very much!
regards Olaf

One step more: I have installed tifm-0.6b.tar.bz2 from http://developer.berlios.de/projects/tifmxx and load the following modules: modprobe tifm_core modprobe tifm_7xx1 modprobe mmc_core modprobe mmc_block
If I insert the sd-card /var/log/messages says: Jan 19 22:56:46 hobbingen kernel: tifm_7xx1: sd card detected in socket 1
But now I don't know the name of the device to mount. Which device is socket 1?

It is /dev/mmcblk0p1. I have missed to do a 'modprobe tifm_sd'. After that, the card is recognized and a window opened under kde.
