Now you have the better of me Anne. KMid is a program, not a loadable kernel module (AFAIK). And, under fc5 at least on my lappy, ISTR KMid didn't work, but one of the gnomish things did whose name now escapes me did. But thats a whole diff setup on the lappy, using something like timidity for the rendering since that one has an AIT-IXP chipset in it that doesn't support midi directly like the audigy 2 (hardware version, theres a software version extant thats $30 cheaper and its to be avoided at all costs). I have a KMid (its in the sound and video menu section) with this kde-3.3.0 (locally built) install on fc2, and it works fine, I just tried it to check. And it didn't leave any notes in the log when I ran it. >Anne -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
