Public bug reported: 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.
It would be nice if the patch could be added upstream so us early ubuntu tab adopters can rotate at our leisure! I found the patch in this link: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum /hardware-peripherals/189360-accelerometer-help-needed-arch-linux- kernel-3-4-a.html I did not make the patch myself. ** Affects: acerhk (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: acer-wmi kernel-bug ** Package changed: grub2 (Ubuntu) => acerhk (Ubuntu) ** Tags added: acer-wmi kernel-bug -- 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/acerhk/+bug/1055433/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
