wine users - May 2008 - [Game] Final Fantasy 7 does not work

Hi at all

i have a great problem with mi wine.
i have Xubuntu 6.06 (dapper drake) on my Asus L8400 Notebook.
i cannot post my Sys definitions, cuz i haven't a tool like siw.exe whos
runnig under linux.

when i start my ff7, a litle moment after, there appears a error message.

> Unable to locate a MIDI-Device. Final Fantasy VII requires a
Windows95-compliant MIDI Device.

my console print follow text:

Code:
root at error-laptop:/home/fatal-error# wine ff7
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:456:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file
or directory
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:456:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file
or directory
root at error-laptop:/home/fatal-error#




Code:
root at error-laptop:/home/fatal-error# wine --version
Wine 0.9.9
root at error-laptop:/home/fatal-error#



this wine was in my Synaptics so i think its the actual version for my linux.

are there enough informations for you to help me or is there something i forgot?

so i've done this tutorial (big thx) and now i can play MIDI files (tested
with a midi file from www.vgmusic.com).


Code:
root at error-laptop:/home/fatal-error# wine ff7
root at error-laptop:/home/fatal-error# wine "c:/program
files/ff7/ff7config.exe"
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:456:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file
or directory
root at error-laptop:/home/fatal-error#


now i'm hopeless. setting up timidity exactly like the tutorial including
this special lib eaw... and it doesn't work.

i think i forgot one stupid little thing but i don't see it.
can it realy be the root whos producing this error?

sound in winecfg to oss but my wine print alsa not found again.
