[linux-audio-user] HELP! trying to get midi port working under knoppix!

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! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
