Kionix KXCJ9 accelerometer support on Linux

[Greg]

Managed to make it work as well.

Related kernel patch is about to be integrated in the upcoming kernel versions: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10690261/

I tested this patch on Arch, recompiled the kernel and the accelerometer is recognized perfectly. I also modified a script that I found to support automated rotation based on the accelerometer values. Xrandr SUCKS on handling such rotations, but whatever its our only option for now :/ If anyone wants the script let me know.

Thanks for the driver info.

The driver seems only detect the rotation of the screen.  Don’t know if there is something that detects the rotation of the keyboard.

I couldn’t get the iio-sensor-proxy to start so I did a script instead.

Here is the compiled module and script…

I’m interested by the script: would you be able to share it, please?
