Ardour supports both the Behringer BCF control surface(I don't remember the exact model) and the Mackie Control. I personally use a Mackie Control Universal Pro run through midi fairly successfully.
It isn't as much an issue of Linux supporting as it just uses standard Midi and Midi/SysEx, but rather the software supporting its use. I haven't checked however if Linux supports the USB connection on my Mackie, I should sometime, but I am betting it does as it just is a standard USB/Midi interface.

In my research I have run across control surfaces, which seem like a
great idea, but can't find any solid evidence of them being used under
Linux. Does anybody here use one and what do they use?
