Hi Gustin and Ralf Thanks for the replies. I didn't know I can build the newer driver on debian-etch too, but downloaded the latest xf86-video-radeonhd-1.2.3.tar.bz2 tarball and will try to build it later today.
I can keep my BIOS set to IDE, to see if the video driver works, but would like to use the SATA controller of course. Can I just switch this setting in the BIOS back to SATA after installing the newer kernel from Synaptic ? Or should that newer kernel be installed when the BIOS is already set to use the SATA controller, so it can configure itself to use SATA ? For the update of the BIOS , I'll have to find out what mobo it is exactly that I've bought, but thanks for the advice Ralf. I'll go back to play some music in the studio and test UbuntuStudio a bit more (it just recognised the midisport 2x2 USB , I installed fxload from synaptic and didn't have to edit any files or add scripts like before with older Ubuntu versions :) Tomorrow, I'll bring the box back here and try the kernel upgrading. Yesterday night, when I played keyboard while switching channels in Muse, it crashed, but the most of the time, I could just play and make music. I'll do some more tests to see how much delay I've got with recording audio and midi, or if there are any other problems. If there aren't any problems left, it would be nice for the community to have some low budget supermarket PC model to point to as "Linux-compatible" , especially for a musician-oriented distribution I guess. Maybe some DSP genius isn't interested in OS theory/politics, but wouldn't it be great to have him programming in and for open-source ? Cheers, and thanks again ;-) Peter
