i've been trying to set up an alsa virtual midi card (to use Steem
with some soft synths) to no avail. i'm running FC4 planet ccrma
kernel 2.6.12-0.21.rdt.rhfc4.ccrma on a fujitsu s2020 laptop. had no
trouble back when i was using ccrma FC3... (i tried posting on the
planet ccrma list, but got no responses, so i'm hoping this group can
help out?)
attempting to hand load the snd-virmidi module results in:
[root@localhost bernie]# /sbin/modprobe snd-virmidi snd_index=2
FATAL: Error inserting snd_virmidi
(/lib/modules/2.6.12-0.21.rdt.rhfc4.ccrma/updates/drivers/snd-virmidi.ko):
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
...but when i look at /var/log/dmesg (is that the right place?) i
can't see anything relating to it.
any help would be much appreciated...

I don't know about dmesg, but it seems the relevant bit in the error
message you're seeing is "unknown parameter", which would refer to
your "snd_index" parameter.
From looking at virmidi.c in the kernel source, I think
you'd want
# /sbin/modprobe snd-virmidi index=2
instead (ie. just "index", rather than "snd_index" )

That's right, you can also get this information with "/sbin/modinfo
snd-virmidi". Maybe Bernie was following my Virmidi-HOWTO, which still
had the old syntax. I fixed this mistake now in the version of the
HOWTO on my site: http://footils.org/cms/show/24 (plus some other
small fixes...)
Ciao

thanks so much for everyone's help!
simply eliminating that "snd_" in "snd_index" did the trick.
virmidi
loaded and works with no trouble now! i was in fact following the
old virmidi HOWTO you wrote (and i found the old version repeatedly in
many places across the web) so thanks for the pointer to the updated
version.

Yes, it's also part of the Midi-Howto. The net has long memory. I'll
try to contact the author. Is this still Phil Kerr?

Try one of the first ~120 hits when googling "midi-howto". ;)
But you may also have it in /usr/share/doc/HOWTO

It's not there, in fact there are few things there here, just
installed this operating system...
Thanks a lot anyway!

dmesg is a command you execute. The newest messages show up at the end.
If the output does not make sense to you, post the part here regarding
snd-virmidi.
