Your problem with Vestige & linux are propl related to wine ao the distro you have
KXstudio's distro is the one that most has full success with:
KXStudio "lmms-vst-full - Linux Multimedia Studio - full VST support Using Wine"
"Note: To use the VST support with Wine, you have to assign /usr/lib/lmms to some drive letter using Wine configuration (winecfg). Otherwise, Wine cannot load VST plugin (VeSTige)."

I hope this is the fix, otherwise you need a linux inputter..
