It seems not to be very easy. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=51003 http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ But I'll try to build a .deb when compiling Rosegarden 1.6.1. > >>> ASUS M2A-VM HDMI, I > > It sucked under linux, and it sucks a little less under windows. I heard of trouble with Windows for a multimedia machine a friend build up, but this seems to be solved. Excepted from you and me, I don't know someone using it with Linux. For Windows the friend just needed a gfx card. > That is unfortunate.

I e.g. found a Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4, but how should I know if e.g. this one is fine with any Linux DAW? I'll ask the list ;). > I have had nothing but trouble with this chipset. So I avoid it.

The ASUS M2A-VM HDMI is fine for Linux non-DAW-applications when using Suse 11.0, my Suse 11.0 only runs with a RT kernel. Suse only is unstable for Rosegarden 1.6.1 and 1.7.0, resp. maybe the fault is up to Jack, any other applications are fine, that means also QSampler, resp. there are some applications not available for 64 Studio that are unstable for Suse, that's why I guess that 64 Studio has a good assortment of stable software. If the main-fault is up to the board, than my board only isn't fine with Rosegarden and or Jack for Suse and with Rosegarden and or Jack and or QSampler for 64 Studio. Okay, the integrated graphics only runs with the Vesa driver ;) for Suse and 64 Studio. Suse runs stable with applications like Cinelerra and the Mozillas, 64 Studio isn't stable for applications like Cinelerra (I'm talking about my computer), but it's also fine for the Mozillas, Gimp etc.. > Yes, you bought a motherboard that does not work very well.

As I wrote, it's fine with any other Linux application I'm using, that also is available for Etch and even Lenny, when using Suse 11.0 and I only use RT kernels, but as I wrote too, I'll try to get another mobo, resp. I'll test the latest BIOS update for the ASUS. > > Thank you :), I hope the latest BIOS update has solved the troubles :S, > > if not Bill Gates seems to have good luck, resp. if so, it's to consider > > which way I'll go, if there isn't another way for me, than to use > > Windows.

The Suse RT kernel is 2.6.25.11-0.1-rt, I heard that RT kernels >= 2.6.26 can't be used because there should be to much MIDI jitter. Maybe I only need another sequencer than Rosegarden. I was fine with Reaper, but MIDI jitter is to extreme, maybe because of wine. I didn't found a Linux alternative to Rosegarden. LMMS, Seq24, Muse etc. are no alternative for me, resp. I might take a look at the latest versions. Cheers, Ralf
