The script returns:
"...
./enable-rightbutton.sh 13
property Synaptics Soft Button Areas doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format

BTW this is my first post, so sorry if it was the incorrect way.
This is my kernel, xubuntu distribution.

Linux laptop-UX31E 3.2.0-25-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 23 20:33:05 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Thanks.
