+vkeybd is a virtual keyboard for AWE/OSS, MIDI/OSS and ALSA drivers. It is
+a simple fake of a MIDI keyboard on X-windows system. Enjoy music with your
+mouse and computer keyboard.
+
+Make sure to have a MIDI synth configured in order to play music with this
+program - if you use TiMidity++, for example, run it in ALSA server mode
+(timidity -iA) before starting vkeybd, then use aconnect to link the ALSA
+sequencer input (vkeybd) and output (timidity) ports.
+
+Also, you may want to provide a custom keymap to vkeybd (~/.vkeybdmap)
