no it sends a 7bit value to be displayed, the font size is the second inlet

ah! since i got dual head installed i had to say good bye to Compiz
and friends, and that maybe means no OpenGL.This is due to xinerama
not supporting it, probably i ll have to use xrandr with a virtual
desktop size on xorg.conf cause life without dual head can be pretty
miserable ;)
Yet i don understand why this happens only with midi in and not in
other situations..
btw i can t find proper infos about how to offset gemwin on a second
screen or to have it not showing bars and window frame
