My first question is Rosegarden-2.1 on Knoppix, why?

I'm sure you don't need ALSA to run Rosegarden-2.1, it's _very_ old ;-] Rosegarden4 is a complete modern KDE based reworking, which requires ALSA/Jack to run. It is really cool. Reading its documentation won't help you one bit with RG-2.1 however. > I'm not sure where to begin since rosegarden v2.1 says > /dev/sequencer is invalid.

What soundcard are you using? output of: lsmod lspci ??? explain what you're hoping to achieve :-] cheers tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk
