Hi, Florian.

I modprobed  the modules.  KMid no longer throws an error about the 
sequencer.  But still no sound...  None of the four maps it finds seems 
to work.

Yewdales-lodge:~# lsmod |grep midi
snd_seq_midi            8576  0
snd_seq_midi_event      7680  2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi
snd_seq                53872  5 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_rawmidi            25124  2 snd_seq_midi,snd_mpu401_uart

Now Timidity throws an error "Can't open /dev/dsp"....  :(
