I'm not convinced we need to get so hung up on the calibration. Sure, 
each laptop has somewhat different resting values - but surely what 
we're looking for is any rate of change in either the X or Y values 
thats over a predefined 'safe' threshold? (I would imagine that we're 
only going to find that safe threshold from some imaginative testing 
once we've got the head parking sorted....)

Just my 2p worth,
Jon.
