Getting USB MIDI Drivers installed, device recognized

[kbabl]

I am using ubuntu for the first time and I am trying to get my M-Audio midisport 2x2 USB midi device working with the OS. I have installed the midisport-firmware package but the device is not being recognized and is not being powered. Looking for assistance with getting it working. Thanks

addendum:

found something on the german ubuntuforums which might be helpful:

1. download the package fxload

2. sudo apt-get install fxload

3. download the midisport drivers:
4. http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ckage_id=92666
5. compile the drivers with

6. ./configure

7. make

8. sudo make install

9. umplug and plug in the midisport again, should work now

If you have question just ask.

Thanks for the helpful suggestions. I found a tutorial that got it powered up. This was my first day using ubuntu and I am amazed at the supportiveness of the community. Cheers.
