I am in full screen mode. I have set it to 2x2 but I still see ONLY 2 tracks, I think I can fit 3 at least!

You mean in the main window? It only displays tracks which are in the currently selected in the pattern sequencer I think.

Yes, it will show only the patterns the current sequence step has set (you can have empty sequences). Also, in compact mode, you can set the visible pattern data columns to fit even more channels.

Yeah man, it is because you only have one track at that point in the pattern sequencer.

Looks like a lot of people are having trouble even tho the program is very similar to other trackers. Perhaps I should make a quick overviewof the most basic things.
FOR FULL-SCREEN USERS:
Note that the fullscreen mode takes res from the window size. In other words, you can set the window to fit your preference (say, show 4 or 8 tracks) and then when you go fullscreen it will keep all that.

Did you install it using the .deb package?

Well most trackers show all channels regardless of if I am using it at a specific sequencer position or not. This was confusing for me.
AHX for example, you can change the channel pattern position from within the pattern column so you can edit at the sam time (or visibly have at the same time)4 channels of audio. How you sequence them later is another issue and I think this is just confusing.
I opened a track and it showed up other channels all right, but as I said, this leads to confusion for me (I'm an old dog 
)

The difference here is that AHX can't have empty sequence positions and all patterns are of same length. I guess at least channel headers could be drawn when there is no pattern at all (now it's a weird hybrid of single pattern editor and multiple channel editor).
EDIT: Also, no idea about the Linux bug. I don't know why SDL_mixer doesn't give any error message but I think the error happens in that library (audio settings?)

Alright, the latest nightly (middaily?) has keyboard shortcut definition presets. Check the key directory for file FT2. Will update the wiki soon. Could someone provide Protracker etc. keymappings?

Yeah I understand, it works like Sid Duzz It, where each pattern can have different lengths and whatnot. I guess that's one of the things that always confused me about SDI
Here's the Protracker layout (replace Amiga key with whatever you seem fit!)
The keymap on Protracker is a standard US keymap. The font has been enhanced
and redrawn a little, so you now have a lot more special characters than
before. Remember to always use the left shift and alt, as the right ones
are used for other things.
High notekeys: 2 3 5 6 7 9 0 =
Q W E R T Y U I O P [ ]
Low notekeys: S D G H J L ;
Z X C V B N M , . /
F1 - Choose lo octave(From C-1 to G-3)

Thanks. I'll try to make the commands match as well as possible.

1.5.3 is out, the usual warnings about hidden bugs apply. I'll get back to that protracker key mapping later.
