Hi. My brother has a yamaha psr-e423 keyboard. I tried hooking it to my Fedora machine, and the kernel recognized it (used dmesg and lsusb to test). Then I tried using it with the rosegarden midi editor, but it didn't show up in rosegarden's midi device manager.
What am I doing wrong? Should I use another app? start some sort of crazy audio daemon? edit configuration files?

It sounds like you are running Rosegarden using ALSA only.
I would suggest using a combination of Jack and alsamidid -e.

Is there an explanation how to do that for someone who is completely unfamiliar with this part of the linux sound subsystem?

Thanks, will do. While waiting for reply, I found this http://tedfelix.com/linux/linux-midi.html and tried the script it suggested, which seems to have allowed rosegarden to record... but pressing the play button resulted in silence. I could see the notes on the screen, but couldn't hear anything from my speakers.
While all this might seem easy to people who are experienced with the linux sound subsystem, I do hope that someday we will have something that works "out of the box" for audio creation, without editing configuration files, opening 5 apps just to get the servers in place, and so forth.

That page kind of adds JAck as an afterthought where really the combination of Jack, Qjackctl and a2jmidid should get everything connected together nicely.
These days there shouldn't be too much manual config required to get you started.
I would make sure you do:
sudo yum install jack-audio-connection-kit* a2jmidid qjackctl
Add your user to jackuser and audio groups log out and log back in - the jack RPM should set the priorities and memlocking values for those groups.
Add a2jmidid -e & in "Execute script after start up" in qjackctl (to enable your MIDI devices in both Jack MIDI and ALSA MIDI apps) and follow the rest of the instructions to select the correct hardware in the link I posted and start jack.
Then its just a matter of firing up your jack enabled app (like rosegarden) and you should be good to go.
Jump on #fedora-audio or #opensourcemusicians if you get stuck and maybe someone will be around to help.

Actually, the musicians guide was informative enough and I managed to get it working! thanks a lot for your help, now my brother can record some new sound themes for Fedora :)
