gsensor-joy: HTC Shift G-Sensor Joystick Linux kernel module
I have found some free time (long night) to implement a kernel module which converts the axis reported by the HTC Shift G-Sensor accelerometer (see previous post!) into a Joystick input event device.
Download
Install Instructions
Download the tarball, extract it to some temporary directory, compile and install it:
# make # make install
Load the needed modules:
#modprobe i2c_i801 #modprobe i2c_dev #modprobe gsensor-joy #modprobe joydev
If you want that automatically loaded every boot, you can also add them to /etc/modules.
For X.org configuration see the README file included in the tarball.
Here’s a demo video playing TuxRacer…

Iep Mussol,
Un cop més, chapeau! Quin crack estàs fet. Me deixes bocabadat amb cada post. Jo en temes de herdware no m’hi he ficat mai… no sé ni per on començar, la veritat. Pero m’has comvençut!
Començaré a estalviar ara mateix per poder comprar un d’aquests aparells a vore que en puc fer (això si no ho has fet tu ja abanas jeje).

Awesome !
No coneixia el TuxRacer!… Quines birgueries que té la shift!… A l’època “clan garrotxa” (half decade ago) diria que no teniem cap laptop!… saludus!
