[linux-audio-dev] Question regarding Usb-midi and Midisport 2x2

Hi all, a small question regarding getting this thing to work. I'd appreciate any help I can get. I am running MDK 9.0 and am trying to get Midisport 2x2 to hotplug. The problem is that if I use the ezusbmidi script (obviously coupled with the right firmware and hotplug stuff) the /var/log/messages definitely notes its successful recognition of the device and announces the last line echo that the firmware has been installed onto the device /proc/bus/usb/002/021 (or whatever number it gets assigned), yet the midisport remains dead. I understand that the ezusbmidi script uses fxload to upload the firmware, but according to the syntax of the ezusbmidi script it sends the command in the following format: Fxload -I /path/to/firmware But this is not sufficient when you try just fxload by itself, it complains that it is missing the destination device (-D flag). So subsequently I am guessing that this is the stepping stone but then how is everyone else getting this thing to work. OTOH, when I try ezusb2131 it works flawlessly (manually) but there is no automation script for it, so I know that everything loads properly, it is just that my fxload for some reason is not working properly. I tested my midi after using ezusb2131 and it does work (/dev/midi1). Now, I hacked the script for the ezusbmidi and it does hotplug, but it is an ugly hack and I am wondering what is wrong with this picture? Any help is greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Ivica Ico Bukvic
