Finally had time to throw at this. Worked fine on Kubuntu 12.10 except for the pkg-config package which was required for ./configure to complete. MInor issue, was very obvious to discern, fix and move on.
Scott - this essentially works fine on 12.10 but rather than use xserver-xorg-input-evdev 2.7.0, which is likely valid for 12.04, I searched for the latest in quantal and found it to be 2.7.3. So just replace the 2.7.0 with 2.7.3 and you'll be fine.
