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. knoppix loads the OSS driver by default, and it recognizes the soundcard and I'm able to hear audio waves thru the soundcard, but no midi. I can alternatively boot with ALSA but then I don't even hear audio, so it seems that it may be easier with OSS since I'm halfway there. I'd like to get the external mpu401 midiport working, and also access the onboard FM sounds. I am using an ALS100 soundcard (and can resort to another ESS1869 if I need to). 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!? Take Yahoo! Mail with you! Get it on your mobile phone. http://mobile.yahoo.com/maildemo
