I have discovered a way to reliably get my 505 to mount and be detected by libprs500 by plugging in the usb cable at a particular time during an onscreen update. If I plug the cable in at any other time such as when the device is idle, it does not connect. I'll keep looking into this, it might be an issue with openSuse or KDE's automount process.

Interesting. Is there any way (other than removing a card) to influence which extension card it decides to support? Right now it's somewhat random. It seems about 30% of the time it chooses my SD card, and the rest of the it's the MS card. It's a bit silly to have to disconnect/reconnect a few times until it gets the card I want, especially with connections issues I'm having.
