But I haven't found the docs that say exactly what format it needs to be. ATM, with the card inserted, selecting any function that references that function, locks it up tight with the power switch being the only recovery. And this is with a brand new SanDisk, supposedly pre-formatted fat32(vfat) card. Also, it seems the new software re-arranges to 4 way buttons functions, it now uses the +- top/bottom buttons to cycle thru the menu's and the left- right sides of the 4 way button to modify the value, such as y gain, being adjusted. That will take some getting used to. As for the sd cards formatting, again that seems to be a winderz only function, using a utility called sdformatter, which of course won't run under wine because wine, except for the keyboard/mouse, has no access to USB. Humm, inserted into my reader, its presence is acknowledged, but its not accessible. The usb system issues a boatload of resets but never gets any farther than listing it as sdg, sdh, sdi, sdj. The reader itself indicates it is plugged in by turning on a "lights up the whole room" blue led Does anyone know what modules are needed to access an SD card while running linux?
