[PlanetCCRMA] frustrated with midi - finding no help

[David Slimp]

Well, it's been 4 days or so, since I posted my last message about midi
problems (2 weeks since my first).  I've also posted on CCRMA forum
and rosegarden forum with no adequate response from anyone on
either list.  I've googled and read every page I could find,
and now I'm out of options.

I'm still having problems getting the midi sequencer to work.
I'm now working with a Delta 1010LT card running FC3/CCRMA,
so know this should be working.

I can see midi drivers in lsmod and can play them using fluidsynth,
but I cannot start qsynth, muse, or rosegarden because they all
report THIS error:

ALSA lib seq.c:928:(snd_seq_open_noupdate) Unknown SEQ hw
Could not open ALSA sequencer: No such file or directory


Since no one here seems to be able to help,
where do I turn next?

thanks,
david
