Hi Wulfy,
This is probably not a good moment to mention it, but I actually have no
clue about how MIDI works. The OP had an error message which suggested
that udev had not created the appropriate node in /dev; this, as
expected, seems to be fixable by probing the necessary modules. Beyond
that I am lost: When I press the "Test MIDI" button in "KDE Control
Center > Sound & Multimedia > Sound System" I hear nothing at all. I
always figured this was because I do not have any external MIDI
instruments attached, therefore I did not investigate it any further.
The rest of my comments was aimed at tracking down a possible udev
problem; this does not seem to matter here, since you do get the node
in /dev.
Hmm... I know a little about midi, but not much. Since I'm able to
play it with some application, I should think it would be possible with
any... I have the same problem with the Control Centre... I've read
cryptic mentions of "sound fonts" but have never been able to find any
to try... that may be why I can't make it work.

Now Timidity throws an error "Can't open /dev/dsp".... :(
Oops. I would hope that this can be fixed by
rmmod snd_seq_midi

I sorted it when I noticed that there was no sound on my system at
all... I went to the Control Centre, turned off sound and then turned
it on again... It works! :)
I'm back to only Timidity playing midis, but without KMid throwing an
error... some progress, at least!
Thanks for your help! Much appreciated!
