apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected precise ** Description changed: The accelerometer is not detected as an acpi event. There is a patch (attached) which when applied to the acer-wmi.c source, allows the accelerometer to work.

[Bug 1055433] Re: Accelerometer non functional (acer-wmi) in Acer W500/501
Can you provide some information on the status of the patch with regards to getting it merged upstream? Has it been sent upstream, what sort of feedback has it received, is it getting applied to a subsystem maintainer's tree, etc? People affected by this bug are probably wondering why the kernel team doesn't just apply the patch and fix it. The reason is that the kernel team is reluctant (not opposed) to apply any patch to a stable kernel that is not from upstream. Applying patches that don't come from upstream add greatly to the support of the kernel as other upstream patches may touch the same area as the non-upstream patch and may prevent them from applying cleanly. To submit your patch, send your patch with the detailed description/changelog and your Signoff (ending with Signed-off-by: your name email), to the emails listed from ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl drivers/SUBSYSTEM-DETAILS (the get_maintainer.pl is from the kernel sources). Once you have sent the patch upstream and it's accepted, please drop a note here so that we can cherry-pick/include the patch into Ubuntu kernel. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1055433 Title: Accelerometer non functional (acer-wmi) in Acer W500/501 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1055433/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The patch has made its way into the linux 3.6rc7 kernel and therefore has been merged upstream.
