Found the Yoshimi.rgd but I have no ~/.local/share/rosegarden/library folder to put it into. I'm working with Suse Tumbleweed right now using Yoshimi-2.2.0 and rosegarden-22.06 which are both bleeding-edge. So, following my usual procedure

The rosegarden "Manage MIDI Devices" window shows only a single General MIDI entry in the left Playback window and in MIDI-Outputs only two input ports as being available: 129:0 Synth-Input and 14:0 Midi-Through. There SHOULD be another port there for each standalone synth started, such as yoshimi OR zynadsubfx, as soon as I start Yoshimi but there isn't. THIS is my problem at this point (as far as I can tell).

If I recall correctly, I had to start Yoshimi with the -A and -j options:

-A, --alsa-audio[=<device>] Use ALSA audio output.

-j, --jack-midi[=<device>] Use JACK MIDI input.

But I was just now fiddling with things with RG 22.12 (freshly compiled) 
and Yoshimi 2.2 (freshly compiled) and I'm not seeing Yoshimi in RG 
although I can get sound from Yoshimi playing it's virtual keyboard or 
using my external keyboard.

I seem to have lost my audio device somewhere in this process. I should 
never have tested pipewire - it messed things up and even uninstalling 
it and removing config hasn't fixed it.
