Hi, This is a bit a shot in the dark, but I've seen that there are some x86= =20 Asus tablets which got android support. Apparently the accelerometer=20 support is done via an extension to the "asus-laptop" module (which=20 work via special ACPI interfaces). See: https://github.com/rbraken/wetab-ICS-device-tree/blob/master/kernel_mod= s/asus-laptop/asus-laptop.c Maybe your hardware has the same/similar interface to the accelerometer= =2E=20 =46or a quick look, you could try to strings/disassemble the ACPI table= s=20 and look for a method like "XLRX". Well, all said, none of this requires Windows, sorry ;-) Good luck! =C9ric -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" = in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
