Blacklist the device from the udev rules. Try to unset the x11_driver for this particular device, there really isn't an easier way to do it. Given that it's an accelerometer with absolute axes, it will permanently send (range/2)/(range/2) values and thus move the cursor into the middle. You can try shaking the box but I'm not sure if that's a particularly useful way to interact with your desktop :) Alternatively, you can set Option "IgnoreAbsoluteAxes" "True" so you still get the device in X. Seing that it only has axes, that's rather pointless though. Cheers, Peter > Martin, the kernel seems to assign a js (joystick?) handler to that > device.
