Hi,
This is a bit a shot in the dark, but I've seen that there are some x86
Asus tablets which got android support. Apparently the accelerometer
support is done via an extension to the "asus-laptop" module (which
work via special ACPI interfaces). See:
https://github.com/rbraken/wetab-ICS-device-tree/blob/master/kernel_mods/asus-laptop/asus-laptop.c
Maybe your hardware has the same/similar interface to the accelerometer.
For a quick look, you could try to strings/disassemble the ACPI tables
and look for a method like "XLRX".
Well, all said, none of this requires Windows, sorry ;-)
Good luck!
Éric
