Hercules Linux Kernel Module

Hercules Linux kernel module

Hercules released a linux driver for the MIDI part of their DJ consoles and controllers. Since it's been outdated by newer kernel versions, community members are now maintaining it, so it works also in newer kernel versions.

Ubuntu PPA

Reported working on Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04. Launchpad link: https://launchpad.net/~rojtberg/+archive/hdjmod

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rojtberg/hdjmod

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install hdjmod-dkms

sudo modprobe hdj_mod

Package .deb

For Ubuntu 10.04 and up, you'll want lightrush's patched version:

Package dkms

dkms means: Dynamic Kernel Module Support

It is supported by all recent linux distros. When your distro will update the kernel, it will automatically rebuild and reinstall the drivers!
