If 'synclient -m 100' reports some numbers there is hope, no matter what 
the actual hardware is, Alps or Synaptics or Acme or whatever.

[1] That script only checks for the required headers, it's only a helper 
and not a configure script per se. Some day I'll get around to navigating 
the autoconf jungle, but for now this is what I have.

The bug seems to come from some versions of bash accepting comments 
inside a $(...) statement and some don't. This will improve in the next 
version. (I think there even are some people with sh!=bash)


[2] Could this be about root privileges, what does 'ls -l $(which 
synclient)' tell you? You could try 'sudo ./midipoke -x 1 -a' as well.
