Hello, I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 with a custom kernel on a Dell Inspiron 6000 - the Dell website only says "SoundBlaster compatible" for the sound card. Normal sound stuff works fine (though I can't hear the cd player, actually, now that I think of it...) but midi doesn't work: kmidi complains that /dev/sequencer is busy, but actually it doesn't exist, and neither does /dev/midi. I guess I need to enable midi in the kernel, but what device / options? device pcm device snd device seq device midi all give me "unknown device" errors at compile time: here's the relevent section of my kernel config file: device sound # generic sound driver: these added... device "snd_ad1816" device "snd_als4000" #device "snd_au88x0" device snd_cmi device "snd_cs4281" device snd_csa device "snd_ds1" device "snd_emu10k1" device "snd_es137x" device snd_ess device "snd_fm801" device snd_gusc device snd_ich device snd_maestro device "snd_maestro3" device snd_mss device snd_neomagic device "snd_sb16" device "snd_sb8" device snd_sbc device snd_solo device "snd_t4dwave" device "snd_via8233" device "snd_via82c686" device snd_vibes #device "snd_vortex1" device snd_uaudio I'm sure I don't need all this stuff in there, but I haven't got round to experimenting with what I can take out. Could that be my problem? Thanks in anticipation for your help... Cheers, Ben
