Mike,
   You might just want to post your current modules.conf file one more
time to let us take another look. Also, I don't know if it's still
required, but much earlier we had to make changes to the /etc/hotplug
directory and put some values in files there to get the system to
recognize the 2x2. Did you do anything like that? It may all be in the
standard files now and not be necessary. I don't know. Fernando's got a
page on this sort of stuff on the Planet site. I'm sure you've gone
through this completely already. However, the state you are currently in
is the state I was in when hotplug wasn't actually getting run. The
Midisport 's require the system to load firmware, so two potential
problems pop up:

1) The system recognized the device but doesn't load the right firmware.

2) Hotplug doesn't actually run.

To me it sounds more like the first of the two.

   Anything in /var/log/messages? dmesg? 

Good luck,
Mark
