Well, I feel silly.
I had a backup on another hard drive of my old SUSE 9.1 config, so I took a
look at it. Looks like YAST wasn't putting in the alias for the second I/F
(the UM2). I manually added it in and all is well now.
Also on the plus side, SUSE 9.2 seems a bit more tuned as far as not seeing as
many XRUNS goes. I can load up a piece with 20-22 MIDI tracks (some muted and
unmuted), plus another 8-10 softsynth tracks (albeit not very busy, musically)
and not see XRUNS.
Granted, I also upgraded the hard drive (bigger, faster), so that probably
helps as well.
Coolness.
R.
