I do not have hands on experience with this laptop but some integrated cardreaders work as an USB storage device, e.g. the Xeron GrafX, which I have described with Linux at http://tuxmobil.de/xeron_sonic_grafx.html this is in German, but you will get the picture. So you just have to configure USB and load the usb-storage module. Then an inserted card will show up as /dev/sdaX or /dev/sdbX etc. see `dmesg' for current details. But there are also some machines around like some Toshiba which use proprietary cardreaders. I do not know of Linux drivers for them. For the ACER machine you may try to find a similar model in the UniX Laptop Survey http://tuxmobil.org/acer.html to get specific information.
