[LAU] M-Audio Oxygen8 - some problems

Hello List, i have some problems running my oxygen 8 usb/midi keyboard on my linux machine. At first i would like to mention, that i already tried a lot, e.g. * installing all the hotplug-stuff from http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/ that is needed for * the firmware loader on http://usb-midi-fw.sourceforge.net/ , that I already installed successfully as described in the readme (the 0.5 version) * i translated http://freesoftware.ircam.fr/article.php3?id_article=67 which is basically a french translation of the readme provided by the usb-midi-fw-package * i read the articles on http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2004-March/011065.ht… and the other one from this month but i have to admit that these threads ended very abrupt like a sentence that ends right in the ... Furthermore the device seems to get hotplugged correct, since the /var/log/messages output shows... Nov 20 23:41:08 studio-linux kernel: ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: auto-wakeup Nov 20 23:41:08 studio-linux kernel: usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 6 Nov 20 23:41:08 studio-linux kernel: usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice .... when i turn the oxygen8 on. the strangest thing: When i boot windows and install the oxygen8 midi-device and restart linux the device works perfectly as long as i don't turn it off. Even when i reboot linux again. When i turned it off it doesn't appear again when i turn it on again. Does anyone have an idea? best regards, sebastian. PS: linux machine does mean: openSuse 10.2 set up with JAD 1.0 realtime-kernel.
