## Conditions ##

New install of Ubuntu 11.10

Ran "http://almostsure.com/mba42/post-install-oneiric.sh", a post-install script for MacBook Air running Ubuntu 11.10 which reports to have mtrack working fine. The script failed to download and install mtrack. However, it did succeed with the other things it claims to get working.

## Installation Method ##

dpkg-buildpackage
cd ..
sudo dpkg --install xserver-xorg-input-mtrack_0.2.0_amd64.deb

Added the following to xorg.conf:
Section "InputClass"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Identifier "Touchpads"
Driver "mtrack"
EndSection

## Issues ##
* Touchpad didn't work after restarting X.
* Xorg log can't find "mtrack" driver.
* Module files in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/ are named "mtrack_drv.so" and "mtrack_drv.la". Rename
these and Xorg now finds the driver.
* Xorg failes to completely load the module: "(EE) module ABI major version (13) doesn't match the
server's version (12)" I tried to edit the field in mtrack.c (yes, hackish) but I can't understand CARD8
data type, nor can I find a definition for it.
* Can't progress further.
