This driver provides support for the accelerometer found in various HP laptops
sporting the feature officially called "HP Mobile Data Protection System 3D" or
"HP 3D DriveGuard". It detect automatically laptops with this sensor. Known models
(for now the HP 2133, nc6420, nc2510, nc8510, nc84x0, nw9440 and nx9420) will

Sysfs attributes under /sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/:
position - 3D position that the accelerometer reports. Format: "(x,y,z)"
calibrate - read: values (x, y, z) that are used as the base for input class device operation.
write: forces the base to be recalibrated with the current position.

If your laptop model is not recognized (cf "dmesg"), you can send an email to the
authors to add it to the database. When reporting a new laptop, please include
the output of "dmidecode" plus the value of /sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/position
