Public bug reported: Problem: Kernel detects presence of accelerometer hardware yet the accelerometer is not functional.
Device: I: Bus=0019 Vendor=0000 Product=0000 Version=0000 N: Name="Acer BMA150 accelerometer" P: Phys=wmi/input1 S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/input/input3 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=event3 js0 B: PROP=0 B: EV=9 B: ABS=7 Looking in /devices/virtual/input/input3 there should be a position file that relays axis data via x, y, z tilt counters. For lenovo, it seems the hdaps driver is not longer available, nor is there an opensource equivelant available.
