This is the context around there. I can send the whole asl if you'd like
also:

                                Store (C15B, Local1)
                                If (Local1)
                                {
                                    If (And (C165, 0x40))
                                    {
                                        Add (Not (Local1), 0x01, Local1)
                                        And (Local1, 0xFFFF)
                                    }
                                }

                                Store (Local1, Index (DerefOf (Index (Local0, 0x02)), 0x0E))

Of particular interest that I'd like to get going also is the built in
accelerometer, which I only discovered browsing the ASL:

            Device (ACEL)
            {
                Name (_HID, EisaId ("HPQ0004"))

"HP Mobile Data Protection Sensor"....but that's for another project. :)
