First--I don't run either application, and frankly, don't care to go download
'em to take 'em apart. But this is the debugging approach I'd take.
Ok, so "KMid" is a separate application that fails; "KMidi" is as well,
but it works. Do we know for sure that "KMidi" uses /dev/sequencer?
Check by (a) reading the available documentation, especially the man page,
(b) do a 'strings' on the executable and look for "/dev/sequencer".
If it does or at least appears to, then I would check that I've got the
latest/best RPM or homebuilt source distribution for "KMid". Maybe try
running it under 'strace' so you can see how it's getting to the device;
run the working application under 'strace' and see what's different.
If "KMidi" doesn't seem to use /dev/sequencer, then there's the suspicion
that that device isn't set up properly in the kernel. Tracking that down
is another whole can of worms; let's worry about that when we get to it.
