Absolutely no idea, this is probably just telling you what you already know, 
that MIDI is not configured. I don't know Mandrake. Under Debian you'd be 
looking for something like /etc/alsa/modutils/1,0 (assuming you're using ALSA 
>= 1.0) or /etc/modutils/alsa-base, whatever file is created by alsaconf, you 
would need to insert an options line into it. Need to know what soundcard you 
have.
Info from 
uname -a
lsmod
/etc/modules.conf
etc.
would be useful here.
