Me too; a negative experience... no, let me think... a (painful) learning experience. Don't mix hp xe4100 with the rme hdsp cardbus thingy. After a couple of months of fighting I'm now looking to buy a new laptop in which I can run pd through the hdsp under linux. Everything works in windows though (sigh).
Anyone using hdsp(cardbus&multiface)+pd on linux successfully? On which laptop?
