Just to be clear, is that card reader working on a thin client?  Mine
works fine on a standalone linux box, but not on a thin client.

I have a promaster digital card reader. reads about a half dozen
different cards. I leave it plugged in to the USB slot and when a card
is slipped in it does recognize it and pops a window up on my screen.
doesn't like to let me take it out because I am not root, but if I take
it out anyway it doesn't seem to have any ill effects.
