Greetings: I recently installed AGNULA/Demudi on my laptop, replacing a perfectly functional PlanetC RH9 installation. After getting over some initial hurdles I now have an almost-fully functional Demudi 1.2.1. But of course some problems remain: 1) How can I permanently turn off the gkrellm stuff ? I don't need it. 2) Latency on my Midsport 2x2 USB MIDI interface is wretched, making the device totally unusable. It worked fine under RH9 and the 2.4 kernel. Is there some tuning required to lower latency for that device under 2.6.12 ? 3) I can't compile the Om synth, it dies wanting a devel package for libgtkmm that appears to be unavailable from the sites in /etc/apt/sources.list. Has anyone successfully compiled Om on Demudi 1.2.1 ? 4) The virmidi problem remains. It appears to be a Demudi-related problem. I'm willing to debug it as far as I can, but I've run out of ideas. Modules handling in 2.6 is different enough from 2.4 to confuse me, so if anyone knows of some arcane file that might be at fault, please advise. The whole system feels much more sluggish than RH9/2.4, I'm especially interested in any tips for improving performance with the 2.6.12 kernel. My WM of choice on this machine is fluxbox, but I may try to use Blackbox instead. Otherwise I really like the system, and it probably works sweetly on more modern hardware than my PII 366 laptop. But I should at least get a good MIDI system out of it, even on this hardware. Any & all advice/suggestions will be vastly appreciated ! :) Best regards, dp
