I am interested in using the Novation SL Mk II

USB port is not class compliant, that a driver is needed and is only
provided for Windows and MacOS.
Has anyone gotten this keyboard to work in Linux?
Is there a way, in general, to use a USB midi keyboard that is not
class compliant in Linux?
That depends on what protocol the device uses.
Other Novation devices are supported; if this device uses the same
protcol, it should be possible to get it to work by just adding its
ID to the driver.
I have some contacts at Novation, so I'll ask.
Which kernel module would have to be tweaked? "find . -name nova\*" in
my 2.6.24 kernel source directory didn't turn up any likely names.
Thanks for the prompt reply!
I absolutely hate it when companies do stuff like this.
I've been happy with my Novation keyboard, but I will not buy equipment from them
again.
