I would like to point out that a few weeks ago, I was given an HP dv6xxx loaner while my laptop was being repaired. That laptop had managed to read xD and Sony Duo cards to my great surprise, actually. I thought it was because I had installed Jaunty on the loaner, whereas I was running Intrepid on my laptop.
When I received the laptop, I installed Jaunty on it but it did not recognized the xD nor the ProDuo cards.
The reason I mention this is because it's possible to read xD cards with Ubuntu. The thing is, I don't know what card reader was on the loaner. :(
