Description : Disk protection for HP machines.
A lot of the HP laptops have 3D Driveguard. This package is crucial for
the HP laptops that include the 3D Driverguard (many from HP) and should
be include in Ubuntu. The device use the PC accelerometer device used to
park the hard drive spindle when the notebook PC falls or is in motion
may not function as expected after performing a recovery process using
restore media. When functioning correctly, an amber LED will light in
the hard drive notification area.
Now, the driver for the accelerometer is loaded by default in Linux
Kernel as modules hp_accel and lis3ld02d. It can be used as a Joystick
as well. And works really well in Ubuntu. I have been trying the
performance. I have it on my HP touchsmart tm2 and with Ubuntu 11.10
amd64. So in order to activate the protection it is needed to run the
hpfall.c deamon that is not include. In order to render useful the
device on the HP laptops the package should be included in Ubuntu.
Otherwise, the device won't protect the hard disk in case of fall and it
is useful just to play pinball with the HP laptops.
