Great idea! I wanted to make something like that for a long time now
but wish was never strong enough and there were always some 'more
important' things :)

But I couldn't get it to work... :(

I first tried on my main computer (dell XPS m1530) with Arch on it.
Configure script wasn't working. It reports [1]. But inspite of that
make went through without problems. SHM is enabled in HAL (at least I
think - 'synclient -m 100' works). But when I try to run it it reports
[2]. But there is Alps touchpad in it (it is using synaptics driver
but it is not made by Synaptics) and maybe that is the reason.

Then I tried on Asus Eee 701 with Jolicloud (Ubuntu variant) on it.
This time configure script worked, 'synclient -m 100' worked too, but
again when I try to run it (./midipoke -x 1 -a), I get the same error
[2].


Regards!
Igor
