Have a look at what ls /dev/midi* gives you. You may have to link the midi device to one that PD can recognise. I have to do this every time, before I start PD:
sudo ln -s /dev/midi1 /dev/midi
-e

i just installed pd-0.42-4, but i can't get midi
working. pd -listdev says
i have no midi devices.
The alsa Aconnectgui interface doesn't list pd as a
midi device either, so
my guess is that i missed something while installing.
start pd with "-alsamidi" (or select alsa-midi from the media-settings) by default, Pd uses OSS midi, that's why you won't see it at aconnectgui.
