Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, I have the pcm driver in MYKERNEL, which comes without MIDI support. There were rumors, that MIDI is supported now in 4.0 RELEASE, but I havent found anything yet about it. So I think about running the voxware driver. Seen in /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sound/Readme.cards, that my rather old Yamaha card MIDI chip is supported. dmesg tells me: pcm0: at port 0x240(etcpp.) irq 5 drq 0,1 on isa0 unknown0: at port 0x201 on isa0. Seems that I first must boot Windows and look around if I can find something about the IRQ which is used for MIDI there. Then two questions: (1) Named readme.cards tells me: Enable the generic OPL2/OPL3 FM synthesizer support if your card has a FM chip made by Yamaha. Don't enable it if your card has a software (TRS) based FM emulator. This is the MIDI chip. Well. But what do I use for the other chip, that works so well with the pcm driver, in voxware land ? (2) What is the prodecure of making MYKERNEL with this driver anyway. I read somewhere that I have to do a "make config". Think thats the place, where I have to enter the IRGs etc, make my choises. so it goes like config, make config, make depend, make and make install ? Has anybody ever used this Voxware thing ? Not a big fan of MIDI sounds, but it might be usefull in preparing files for midi2cs.
