I have a tablet pc (which name is Ekoore Drake, italian company), that has an intel N450 processor, which has integrated graphics, and an accelerometer.
They sell it with ubuntu 10.04/10.10 as operation system and everything works fine.
As though, it’s been a while that i’m using openSUSE as operating system i have try to format it and install openSUSE. The truth is that i like KDE and suse was much stable and faster than ubuntu on that tablet but the problem is that i haven’t been able to have the accelerometer working.
With openSUSE 11.4 and kernel 2.6.38 it recognizes it as rotating the tablet the screen becomes black, if else i think that it should do nothing because ubuntu with kernel version 2.6.32 did nothing when rotating it.
The company that sells it, to make the accelerometer work under ubuntu, provides two files named touchroate and orient that has to be inserted in the /usr/bin and /usr/sbin directories respectively. After that, must edit the rc.local by inserting the following command before the “exit 0”
echo disable > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe11
and then to edit the sudoers file so it starts on boot.

I haven’t found the accelerometer in these two commands and the only information i have but i think its’ irrelevant is that the monitor is an MosArt. At the end you can download the two files (touchrotate, orient) provided from the company in case you could find more usefull information (it’s in hotfile directlink):
orient: http://hotfile.com/dl/116970166/ffa5983/orient.html
touchrotate: http://hotfile.com/dl/116970183/9ff88ea/touchrotate.html
Any information about how to make it work in order to not get black screen while rotation would be much appreciated. Even if someone could give me any direction on how it should work.
thank you in advance
