same here...
midisport_fw-0.5.0
...but AFAIR I took the tarball from the project homepage for this one.
to make this short....
I installed by following the instructions here...
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=USBMidiDevices
I installed the midisport about a month ago and got it
working. I was using kde at the time. I uninstalled
kde and switched to windowmaker. Now the midisport
doesn't work I reinstalled the above packages. still
no luck. I even reinstalled kde. nothing.
as Carmen wrote, KDE is not related to this issue. PLease post some
messages like shown by
tail -f /var/log/messages
when pluggin it in/switching it to USB mode.
Best regards
