** Description changed: There are laptops from Hewlett-Packard laptops that HP 3D Driveguard (AKA "HP Mobile Data Protection System 3D" and "ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection"), an active hard-drive protection technology utilising an accelerometers as a free-fall sensor. In order to use this technology there needs to be a piece of simple software that does the parking of the disc depending on the sensor input. An example code for such a software for HP laptops is included in the kernel docs: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/laptops/hpfall.c This software is what I would like to see packages and included in the official repository just like the one for Thinkpads ("hdapsd"). (P.S.: someone created a PPA for previous Ubuntu versions: http://blog.pcode.nl/2009/09/19/hp-3d-driveguard-on-ubuntu-karmic/ , it still might work but the point here is to make the make it just as easy to enable the hard-drive protection for laptops from HP as from IBM) + + URL: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/laptops/hpfall.c + License: GPLv2 + Notes: See above.
