Bug Description
The accelerometer is not detected as an acpi event. There is a patch (attached) which when applied to the acer-wmi.c source, allows the accelerometer to work.
It would be nice if the patch could be added upstream so us early ubuntu tab adopters can rotate at our leisure!
I found the patch in this link: http://
I did not make the patch myself.
