could you post your entire lsmod output and your modules.conf?
I first tried linux using a knoppix install, and while it was great to
get my feet wet it was horrible to get music apps and midi going on.
Agnula makes most of theat pain go away I hear (I havent actually used
it) http://www.agnula.org/.
I am sure, however that some of our local debian masters will be able
to hook you up though.

I'm trying to get a sequencer like rosegarden
working
under knoppix 3.4 (a debian flavor linux live CD
distro). I am unable to get a midiport like
/dev/sequencer to work.
Although knoppix uses OSS by default, with a cheatcode
I am able to boot up using the ALSA driver. But
rosegarden (or playmidi) still complains that
/dev/sequencer doesnt exist.
How can I check if the required ALSA driver/libraries
are present? With my current hardddisk install I can
install missing libraries (unlike the standard
liveCD).
I'd like to get the external mpu401 midiport working,
and also access the onboard FM sounds if possible. I
have ALS100 and ESS1869 ISA soundcards and a yamaha
PCI soundcard.
Here is my system info:
"lsmod" shows uart401, sound, and soundcore
cat /dev/sndstat displays nothing.
/etc/modules.conf doesnt seem to have anything
relevant (grep didnt find midi or sound anywhere)
What is the next step to enable my midiport? I can
promptly post back any requested info. Thanks!
