[gentoo-user] [maybe ot]Accelerometer hacks for Lenovo and -possibly- Macbook laptops

Sorry if spamming, but this is too juicy not to share. I've just read on 
OSNews:

It is a little hack to use the inbuilt accelerometer of Lenovo (and 
possibly Macbook... gotta try on my MBP) just as another input device. 
Looks damn cool.


Anyone with experiences to share?

Yeah I saw this on LWN Interesting.

My ThinkPad is in the shop, but I'll give it a try when I get it back.
