hmmm

lsmod show gameport with the ens1371 (an oldie but goody I found n the trash 
and put in to have SOMETHING for audio for the Linux--my dman2044 is not 
supported. Under windows, eht ens1371 has a wave table GS-subset as well.) 
Since I do not use the gameport, how might I disable it and see if this was 
blocking the mpu401?

Actually, I have no mpu401 device. The target is another oldie, a Yamaha 
sw60xg ISA card which is simply an XG sound generator. It sits on a port, no 
IRQ,  no DMA, no PNP, nada. The system does not know it's there, not Windows, 
not Linux. When W2k came out and Yamaha had no driver for the card, they 
recommended using the W2K mpu401 driver until. So I tried this with Linux and 
it has worked 100% until 2.6.12.
