'dmesg | tail' will tell you if the kernel detected it.  If it did, you
can mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 (typically; for cards that have a partition
table).  Or, most likely, click on the SD card entry that appears in
your Places menu.  I don't know why the card is not auto-mounted.

My T61 has a bit of a problem: the SD slot is too deep.  If I push a
card all the way in, the card cannot be read (dmesg shows I/O errors on
I/O error on device mmcblk0).  If I stop before pushing it quite that
deep, the card works fine.
