JACK MIDI vs ALSA MIDI issue, I guess? Does it work for you with JACK

Hello
thanks for the Keyboard. It look nice and work well for me, all so with the
system-midi ports in jack_midi (qsynth e.t.c). The only thing I change is the
Keyset. To make it fit to my german keyboard I change the "z" and "y"
key's
in pianokeyboard.c
Yeah, that's one of the problems I don't know how to solve properly.
Basically, I cannot find a way to translate keycode (which is hardware
dependant, so I don't want to use it directly) to keyval (translation
is done using gdk_keymap_lookup_key()) _ignoring the layout setting_.

Version 2.3 of
jack-keyboard can be downloaded from:
http://pin.if.uz.zgora.pl/~trasz/jack-keyboard/jack-keyboard-2.3.tar.gz
List of changes is here:

jack-keyboard is a virtual MIDI keyboard - a program that allows you to
send JACK MIDI events (play ;-) using your PC keyboard. It's somewhat
similar to vkeybd, except it uses JACK MIDI instead of ALSA, and the
keyboard mapping is much better - it uses the same layout as trackers
(like Impulse Tracker) did, so you have two and half octaves under your
fingers.
I still find it difficult to connect jack-keyboard on the right way to
for example rosegarden or qsynth. Never got some sound of it...
