But I know it better than others and so I use it.I downloaded "64 Studio" debian, and will give it a try as soon as possible :-) What distro do you use? Which is the best for midi work?I tried dyne:bolic and pure:dyne, but it's hard to compile new drivers there... Despite that I think they're great. If it comes to the drivers, the patch Clemens Ladisch has provided link to, worked well. My interface now works. But unfortunately I can't use it due to problems with real time - when I do some work with interface (enter notes wit mouse etc), there are delays. Really nasty. So I'll wait for a RT kernel. cheersMaciek -------------------------------------------------------------------------This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.Still grepping through log files to find problems?
