Hi :)

I'm not a Linux, neither a C/C++ coder, but the answer here is very
simple, if the MIDI events (I guess this is what you mean by keyboard
events) are recognized by Linux, then there seems to be a driver for
your equipment that's good enough for your needs :). So go on, write a
simple Linux MIDI tool in C/C++, make it open source and reach in the
link, maybe some Dino-Assembler-Beings for some microchips (like me)
will be able to understand how to program for Linux too, if there would
be some very simple examples, excepted of "Hello world" ;).

Good luck,
Ralf
