You need to use the evdev driver. For example this is MY /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "InputClass" Identifier "Magic Trackpad" MatchUSBID "05ac:030e" Driver "evdev"

EndSection

Your xorg.conf will be diferent, but you need the Driver "evdev" line.

I think that the InputClass section will be like this:

Section "InputDevice" Identifier "TouchPad" Driver "evdev"

EndSection

Restar X and go!

Hi aldomann09

I'm working in deb's packages for Ubuntu 10.10, but if you want to use it now, don't hesitate to ask me any questions you have.

For compile you need to have installed Qt, qmake, utouch and another tools like g++, etc, etc
