Unfortunately, it doesn't look that good for you currently.
Although we can make the script to compile easily, you will likely have Xorg 7.4 installed on this distribution and the mtx driver does not work with this Xorg version as some major parts in the ABI have been changed.

See this thread for more details and the compile fix:
