Comment 3 for bug 116045

The problem is that Toshibas and others don't have the same accelerometer as IBM. Thus, the drivers (HDAPS) for the IBM accel. will not work on the Toshiba systems. On the windows side, IBM uses "sensor.dll" as the driver; Toshiba uses thpevm.sys as the driver. I have no idea how to program and that severely limits my options for reverse engineering. I can, however, understand code enough to get by and edit it to my needs (I've compiled stuff that wasn't able to compiled w/o being edited.) My purpose in this is to get the accel. to work w/ the Compiz cube - imagine how cool it would be to jar the laptop and the cube spin to the next desktop! I have had no luck finding the source or some one w/ the source. I have "disassembled" most of the files used in Toshiba's "HDD Protection" system w/ LDasm, but, again, I don't program so I do not understand assembly.
