my modules.conf:

need to say that i have to load virmidi module manually with:

modprobe snd-virmidi snd_index=1

with the following result:

Warning: ignoring snd_index=1, no such parameter in this module
Module snd-virmidi loaded, with warnings

:-)

This i did and get following result:

device 1: tried /dev/midi01 READ/WRITE; returned 5
opened 1 MIDI input device(s) and 1 MIDI output device(s).
input channels = 2, output channels = 8

great !

Thanx for help so far.
