Issues installing on Ubuntu 11.10 with 3.0.0-12 Kernel

[TimCinel]

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.

Additional Information

• /var/log/Xorg.0.log
• /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I don't have 11.10 packages available yet, much less an 11.10 build system. I'll try and get packages built soon.

11.10 packages are now available: http://www.dev.fatedmariner.org/packages/xf86-input-mtrack/ubuntu/
