I'm having trouble using MIDI with Suse 10.0 eval. When I plug in a USB MIDI interface, the following appears in /var/log/messages: Feb 23 19:30:05 linux kernel: usb 2-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2 Feb 23 19:30:06 linux kernel: usb-midi: Found MIDISTREAMING on dev 0582:0052, iface 0 Feb 23 19:30:06 linux kernel: usb-midi: Found MIDIStreaming device corresponding to Release 1.00 of spec.

Note that this works properly on older Suse versions. What's going on here? Thanks. Rich -- Rich Wilson richaw at gmail.com 425-337-7129
