I just had the laptop going with the usb midiman uno and the electric piano. aplaymidi is midi playing which is good for testing. the -l option lists which devices you have. aplaymidi -l Once you have found a port and it is plugged into your sound making midi equipped device (in my case the piano) you play a file like this: aplaymidi -p 72:0 midifile.mid (72:0 was the port specification given by the aplaymidi -l command) In rosegarden there is a menu item "manage midi devices" from which you can choose which midi port you want to use. There is often more than one listed.
