I did that.  I have had no success at all with midi-output so far with
the following installed:

$ lsmod | grep mid
snd_seq_midi            9376  0
snd_rawmidi            25504  1 snd_seq_midi
snd_seq_midi_event      7552  2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi
snd_seq                51984  9
snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device          8716  5
snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq
snd                    55268  13
snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,\
snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer

It did work on breezy.

Thanks.  Good to know that.

Thanks.  You have helped me a lot.
