by (A) Sequencing software works under Windows ME dual-boot, using external
midi keyboard or internal soundcard.
(B) Under linux Timidity works OK to play *.mid; *.wav and other sound
works. Kmid complains that /dev/sequencer: snd: no response.
My hardware: P3, Intel 810 motherboard with integrated video and sound
My O/S: Suse 7.0, Suse modified 2.2.16 kernel, XFree86 4.0.x
See attached logs for configuration. The /dev/sndstat looks strangely
empty.
I'm not sure the effect of OSS vs ALSA and whether that caused a problem or
not. I've manually added midi in modules.conf earlier.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've searched for months and can't
find
anything remotely useful. Please reply to sender email as well. Thanks in
advance!
