Many thanks - I am up and running now. (Well struggling with all the
jack & Rosegarden settings & options!) I couldn't find a way to prevent
usb-midi loading with the kernel and can't think of any reason I need it
(I am a midi novice and content to stick to ALSA) but the blacklist
option does the trick.

I ran the debug script you linked to: I am not sure if this list allows
attachments but for a start will try do both a before & after as
attachments. I think they are for interest only until I run into the
next problem. (If the attachments get stripped & anyone is interested,
yell & I will post in the body of a mail.)

Thanks so much for your help again
Chris
