Alright, the keyboard controls appear to all be working to control synthesizer settings, but echo still returns the "Invalid argument" error. Weird. Is there a Debian package that enters keystrokes for you as if you were typing them and is scriptable? <grins> Just tried rc.local again after controlling the synth via keyboard controls and am still getting the invalid argument error, so it's not something that can be hammered into place to make it work. I guess I'll try this kernel out for awhile and see what happens. I can live without being able to echo things to the synth for now, since the keyboard controls werk. Could barely understand things before, with the synth talking so fast. Michael
