[linux-audio-user] help with virtual midi?

[bernie arai]

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 at 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...
