Ok, I'm still trying to find out how to configure the midiports of my Knoppix 3.3 system (how to find out what the input/output device is in /dev) And trying to see if my driver is Alsa or OSS. There is no aconnect or kaconnect command. No /dev/snd or /dev/sndstat or /proc/asound. relevant entries from lsmod command are: sb 7796 sb_lib 33550 [sb] uart401 6052 [sb_lib] sound 55276 [sb_lib uart401] soundcore 3428 [sb_lib sound] I didn't see anything relevant out of the long /etc/modules.conf (if I need to post something specific there, let me know...) Help anyone? thanks... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo! Photos - easier uploading and sharing. http://photos.yahoo.com/
