This might be easy to implement for Mandrake guys, since in MDK 9.1 it worked
automatically, but erratically and was conflicting with PSI audio card. In 9.2
it stopped working.
Details:
I'm using Midiman Midisport Uno USB-MIDI interface to connect my MIDI keyboard
to a laptop:
http://www.midiman.net/products/midiman/USBuno.php
The GPLed Linux kernel drivers are available and included in the latest 2.4 and
2.5 kernels. See the URL of this bug.
How this worked in MDK 9.1:
1) Sometimes, on boot, it was configured properly, and was indicated by
following messages in the logs:
Aug 5 21:34:50 localhost /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... no modules for USB product
0/0/0
Aug 5 21:34:51 localhost /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup snd-usb-audio for USB
product 763/1011/121
Aug 5 21:34:51 localhost /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... no modules for USB product
3eb/3301/300
Aug 5 21:34:51 localhost /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup usbmouse hid for USB
product 46d/c00e/1110
Aug 5 21:34:52 localhost /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup mousedev for USB product
46d/c00e/1110
The device /dev/sound/midi was available.
PCI audio was unavailable then and couldn't be made to work (I tried loading
various sounde related kernel modules, with no success - dsp device didn't
appear in /dev/sound/).
2) Sometimes the PCI sound card took precedence and OSS (or maybe ALSA) was
loaded. snd-usb-audio didn't load automatically then.
/dev/sound/dsp was present, /dev/sound/midi wasn't.
I had to manually load snd-usb-audio and then both dsp and midi device nodes
were present - I could play the MIDI keyboard and have my soundcard play sound
at the same time.
3) When midi device node was present, I could "cat /dev/sound/midi" and each
keypress on MIDI keyboard was visible as data output on the terminal. So it
worked fine.
