[slim] Turn off motion sensor in controller?

? The motion sensor is triggered by each and every move I make, preventing the controller to dim down it's screen or go into sleep mode. Result: Battery is dead after only a couple of hours. Can the motion sensor in any way be configured or turned off? Thanks -- funkahdafi
