I am cc'ing to linux-kernel because I suspect there may be others still
wrestling with this. Thru l'assistance tres gentille de Regis Duchesne
<regis@via.ecp.fr> {Merci Bien!} I was able to get everything working
well. I quote:
don't forget to compile the adlib FM support in your kernel.
[ I also have OPL3 support configured. I think this may be required. ]
Then, add to your /etc/modules.conf
options adlib_card io=0x388 # FM synthetiser
And MIDI will work, but _only_ if you load the module adlib_card with
insmod. Because for the moment, kerneld is unable to load a _minor_
device, I mean that it can only load a driver being provided a major
number.
Here are the relevant lines from my /etc/conf.modules:
alias char-major-14 sb
post-install sb modprobe "-k" "adlib_card"
options sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
options adlib_card io=0x388 # FM synthetiser
The effect of this is that the device and all necessary bits and pieces
autoload on demand, and autoclean when not in use.
