So far what I know is SL400 has similar firmware with asus-laptops, and other SL are using thinkpad-acpi. I have a SL400 and tried to examine the DSDT but found nothing about accelerometer sensor. > > I compiled the iaps module and loaded it successfully on my ThinkPad SL. > There is also data passed by the driver to the input subsystem, when I move > the laptop.

If we can find out a standard interface, that will be good. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe platform-driver-x86" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
