I used the Sourceforge installer and it was a painless. I actually used Wine to extract the Windows .SYS file. The installer crashed (Wine, 'eh?) but the files all resided in the windows temp directory. After that the install proceeded exactly as was expected and the Midisport is recognized when I boot even if it is attached, so I guess the Gentoo init scripts don't have the bug that some other distro's have had. BTW - here are the hand edits I did to my Alsa configuration last night. Since the Alsa page for the Midisport wasn't (isn't) available right now, can you confirm that these are OK? flash mark $ cat /etc/modules.d/alsa alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore alias snd-card-0 snd-atiixp alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss options snd cards_limit=3 flash mark $ Not sure if the cards_limit should be 2 or 3 so I followed the PlanetCCRMA doc. Again, thanks very much! Cheers, Mark
