It detect automatically laptops with this sensor. Known models +(for now the HP 2133, nc6420, nc2510, nc8510, nc84x0, nw9440 and nx9420) will +have their axis automatically oriented on standard way (eg: you can directly +play neverball). The accelerometer data is readable via +/sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d. + +Sysfs attributes under /sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/: +position - 3D position that the accelerometer reports. Format: "(x,y,z)" +calibrate - read: values (x, y, z) that are used as the base for input class device operation. + write: forces the base to be recalibrated with the current position. +rate - reports the sampling rate of the accelerometer device in HZ + +This driver also provides an absolute input class device, allowing +the laptop to act as a pinball machine-esque joystick. + +Axes orientation +---------------- + +For better compatibility between the various laptops. The values reported by +the accelerometer are converted into a "standard" organisation of the axes +(aka "can play neverball out of the box"): + * When the laptop is horizontal the position reported is about 0 for X and Y +and a positive value for Z + * If the left side is elevated, X increases (becomes positive) + * If the front side (where the touchpad is) is elevated, Y decreases (becomes negative) + * If the laptop is put upside-down, Z becomes negative + +If your laptop model is not recognized (cf "dmesg"), you can send an email to the +authors to add it to the database. When reporting a new laptop, please include +the output of "dmidecode" plus the value of /sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/position +in these four cases. + |
