If you have a rpm base Linux distribution like Mandrake, you should use
it:
Timidity package is
TiMidity++-2.13.1-0.cvs20040722.1mdk

If you don't have a recent Mandrake (10.1) do on root
urpmi Timidity++
do download and install it

Doing rpm -qil TiMidity++
you get the files installed and you can verify that there is default
timidity.cfg, but which is on /usr/share and not on /usr/local/share
(this is the way I know that your personal install did not work):

Summary     : MIDI to WAVE converter and player
Description :
TiMidity is a MIDI to WAVE converter and player that uses Gravis
Ultrasound(tm) or SoundFont(tm) patch files to generate digital audio
data
from general MIDI files. The audio data can be played through any
sound device or stored on disk.
/etc/timidity.cfg
/usr/bin/timidity
/usr/lib/menu/TiMidity++
/usr/share/doc/TiMidity++-2.13.1
/usr/share/doc/TiMidity++-2.13.1/COPYING

/usr/share/man/man1/timidity.1.bz2
/usr/share/man/man5/timidity.cfg.5.bz2
/usr/share/timidity/timidity.cfg

And you need to launch something like 
$ timidity -iA -Os &
But not as root (and if you don't have a midi card).

You can also directly go the winehq app db where I added a section to
previous sections some days ago at the URL:

http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=1101

Hope that it will help.
Cheers,
Nicolas
