I got the user side working although I still had to do an install from
the Windows Hypercanvas setup file in Wine...
I have had Sonar (CakeWalk) externally hooked up via a midisport 2x2 usb
to my Delta1010 midi in port in. Essentially using Sonar as _just_ my
sequencer. I hook the ports up in "Connect" in qjackctl and Vrooom! Shes
a cookin'!! Sounds like it oughta. It's even better actually because on
a hard midi port in Sonar you can use an instrument definition file like
GS or whatever an Hyper Canvas is receiving all the data...volumes,
velocities, PC, CC, etc. As you had stated in the beggining, the redraw
is a bit sluggish, further enhanced by the fact that I'm running it
remotely thru X-win32 to my laptop...
So it's up! By golly...
BUT... :)
It runs for a short while...a couple of songs and then "blips" off the
radar with;
"The program 'jack_fst' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
(Details: serial 16653680 error_code 1 request_code 0 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
function.)

Any idea what this might be? As I said, I run X on a remote machine
thru XDMCP. It's on a closed network so I have absolute minimal security
settings. I'm presently running in KDE 3.2 for ease of use but I usually
use IceWM or fluxbox or even XFCE4 sometimes. KDE is a bloody memory hog
amongst other things.
My rig is an Asus A7VX something with Ath. XP 2500, 512MB DDR, and a Via
chipset (KT400 i think) with no ACIP. No graphics except welcome screen
running on Display :0.
If I can get this thing stable, I'm gonna use it Saturday. Sound in
Hyper Canvas just ROX!
I'm running it all under IceWM right now to see if it's re creatable.
Cheers
