Onyx (at least this one) has the option to scan only books from the folder "Books" which can not be changed as far as I can tell. Since Calibre is placing everything in eBooks and not in Books I'm guessing that it didn't recognise it as an Onyx reader. Hence the part where I think it's strange that it able to do that on Windows and not on Linux.
Windows and Linux don't know this is an eBook Reader. For all the OS knows, it could be a USB memory stick.

Calibre knows when an eBook Reader is plugged in when the device ID matches a known device ID. The device ID of your T68 is different then the known device ID of other T68s. So when next week's release happens, Calibre will know your T68 is a T68 and will be able to deal with it as you want.
