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!
