In two old posts I described, how you could use the gyro sensor of the Acer 1825 for auto rotating your screen and how you could enable and disable this feature with a special button.

From this thread on ubuntuforums.org I got a link http://pof.eslack.org/blog/2008/06/05/gsensor-joy-htc-shift-g-sensor-joystick-linux-kernel-module/ of a blog where the author presents his kernel module for using the gyro sensor from the HTC Shift (which is similar to the gyro sensor from the Acer 1825) as a joystick. This site is although the base for my presented scripts and applications for auto rotating the display of the Acer 1825. The problem is, that the presented module does not work on a current kernel, because the architecture of the i2c-bus driver changed in linux kernel 2.6.

In this post I will describe how you could enable the gyro-sensor for automatic display rotation under Ubuntu 10.10 (Should also work under all debian based os)
