USB midi interfaces

[David Griffith <dgriffi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I recently acquired a confirmed-good USB midi interface.  A MOTU Fastlane.
I've tried everything I can think of to get it to work.  The interface
shows itself like this:

laptop:~$ amidi -l
Dir Device Name
IO hw:1,0,0 Fastlane MIDI A
IO hw:1,0,1 Fastlane MIDI B

but not like this:

laptop:~$ amidi -da -p hw:1,0,0
[I press keys on MIDI keyboard and fiddle the bend wheel. Nothing
happens.  Though, the IN light blinks as it should.]

I've tracked the problem down to two potentials.

1) Through google, I've seen lots of references to a "usb_midi" module.
On Ubuntu 7.04 (feisty) running the standard kernel (2.6.20-16), this
doesn't seem to exist.  "modprobe usb_midi" returns "FATAL: Module
usb_midi not found.".

2) In the list of changes for kernel 2.6.20, I noticed a line saying that
usb_midi was removed and now there's something called "g_midi" to take its
place.  When I try that module, I get this:

FATAL: Error inserting g_midi
(/lib/modules/2.6.20-16-lowlatency/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/g_midi.ko):
Invalid argument


So, how can I get this USB MIDI interface working under Ubuntu?
