Unfortunately I have no idea why it does not work at your computer. As
first step I'd try with some monitoring app connected to a2jmidid output
port. The two ones I know about are jack_mididump that I think comes
with jack itself and gmidimonitor (GTK app). Also zynjacku, unless
started with synth URL at command line, has MIDI indicator in upper
right corner.
