Hi, 

I have installed the ccrma rosegarden4, jack-audio-connection and
qsynth on my AMD 64 machine which is running fedora4 x86_64.
Rosegarden appears to start fine but it is slow and the message "jack
... is losing sample frames" appears often. 

When I started fluidsynth using qsynth the following appeared:

21:15:09.877 Qsynth1: Creating synthesizer engine...

21:15:11.726 Qsynth1: fluid_synth_set_chorus(3,2,0.3,8,0)
fluidsynth: warning: Failed to pin the sample data to RAM; swapping
is possible.

When I tried to lsiten to a midi file it appeared but I could not
hear it being played (as I was able to on an older machine running
the ccrma kernels on fedora 3 and on the old system no warnings
appeared.

My questions are a) Is your software able to be used using the
standard kernels and b) on a x86_64 system.

I would appreciate your assistance with this.

Thanks, 

Marc
