sorry - I intended putting all the relevant cats in. Since posting I've installed snd-virmidi, so I've nowwhat does "cat /proc/modules" say?

with this /dev/sequencer is now a device, (it can be opened), but it doesn't do much more, for example
ioctl (sequencer_fd, SNDCTL_SYNTH_INFO, &card_info)
returns -1.
I guess I still need to aconnect it to some software (I've been following the Linux MIDI-HowTo to get this far). That is I'm guessing that the sound system on this motherboard doesn't have some support that most soundcards do.
However I don't know what or how to connect to this virmidi thing.
Thank you for your support - below is some more of the grisly detail in case it throws some light.
