In the context of this mail the question should be understood as: Are there any other sequencers for Linux, that are like MusE and Rosegarden? I guess QTracktor is such a sequencer, but I still have to take a look at it, I'm not sure. > > Seq24 and LMMS are non-serious sequencers for my needs and Jazz++ seems > > to be a less good sequencer too. > > No idea what you are talking about here.

We are running Rosegarden on several distros using several kernels. > > A friend would buy my ASUS M2A-VM HDMI, but if I can't get a DAW, > > including a MIDI sequencer running with Suse 11.0, I guess I will > > install Windows, because I'm to stupid to get informations about a mobo, > > that's fine with 64 Studio or any other Linux for a DAW, including a > > MIDI sequencer, by using my AMD Athlon BE-2350 G2. > > > It's the second computer now, I spend money for, to get a Linux DAW, > > that isn't fine. > > Research is king in any field. My Windows DAW had similar problems > because I did not properly do my homework on the VIA chipset. I don't know how to do research, without buying. The ASUS mobo only isn't fine as MIDI sequencer. How should I know which chipsets will be fine for MIDI sequencers on AM2 socked based boards. There isn't a way to get this informations. Will an ASUS M2N-VM instead of a M2A-VM be fine? I guess you does research by buying several boards. > > Is there anyone running a stable DAW, including a MIDI sequencer like > > Rosegarden or MusE, using a socket AM2 based mobo?

I guess I won't try a 32-bit install, if you have tested it. I don't know if a Windows DAW is fine with my mobo, but if there's the need, I can run a Windows DAW with my 32-bit ASRock. If QTracktor won't run too, than it would be interesting to know, what MusE, Rosegarden and QTracktor have in common, that other Linux applications don't have in common with them. I didn't compile a 2.6.26 kernel until now, maybe this rt kernel will be fine for my hardware. I know it isn't fine for other people, but for other people, having other hardware, 2.6.21, 2.6.24 and 2.6.25 seems to be fine, while those kernels aren't fine for the M2A-VM. Cheers, Ralf
