could you post your entire lsmod output and your modules.conf? I first tried linux using a knoppix install, and while it was great to get my feet wet it was horrible to get music apps and midi going on. Agnula makes most of theat pain go away I hear (I havent actually used it) http://www.agnula.org/. I am sure, however that some of our local debian masters will be able to hook you up though.
