Just a few thoughts about problems and solutions.
Midisport support broken
Installing this didn't work with my Midisport 2x2, and scanning the
ubuntu lists revealed a number of people had the same problem but all
seemed to have slightly different solutions. None of these seemed to
work for me. However lsusb revealed that the unit was being 'seen'.
Eventually I was able to put together the script below to allow me to
manually start it. Script experts look away now!
###############
#!/bin/bash
# echo's can be removed -just for testing
name="Midisport"
lsusb | cat | while read line ; do
if [[ "$line" =~ "$name" ]] ; then
echo
echo $line
result=${line#'Bus '}
busnumber=${result%' Device'*}
result=${result#*'Device '}
devicenumber=${result%': ID'*}
echo $busnumber
echo $devicenumber
result="sudo fxload -I /usr/share/usb/maudio/MidiSport2x2.ihx
-D /dev/bus/usb/"$busnumber"/"$devicenumber
exec $result
fi
done
echo

Unable to get correct monitor resolution, on several different monitors.
Surprisingly the solution to this was to simply install a graphics card
instead of using the on-board chip set (and this is an asus board). The
new card is a GeForce 7300GS - a middle-of-the-road card.
Unable to compile various programs.
I had to take a chance on this as it turned out a number of libraries
are getting quite out of date. The solution was to add debian lenny to
the repositories list and upgrade build-essential, cmake, fltk, mxml.
There were others, but I forget what they were now - sorry.
This also pulled in a number of upgrades to audio packages, but broke
Rosegarden, which had to be removed, then compiled and installed
manually. I also had to run alsaconf but that's no real problem.
