Hello, I know now what's the problem. With "ls -l /dev/sequencer" I get crw------- 1 shang root 14, 1 Mar 24 2001 /dev/sequencer. After changing the permission as root and as user "shang"( so that with "ls -l /dev/sequencer" it looks like crwx------ 1 shang root 14, 1 Mar 24 2001 /dev/sequencer ) I logged out and logged in. But to my dissapointment it is still crw------- 1 shang root 14, 1 Mar 24 2001 /dev/sequencer. I can't save it! How can I solve it?
