This is a feature, not a bug. The idea is to let people play pinball with their laptops. I have always hated the idea, but I didn't write the drivers which make it possible. Certainly it would be nice to have a module parameter to at least give the users an option to disable this feature.
Moving to the right component, as this has nothing to do with hardware monitoring. Meanwhile, just use /dev/input/js1, I fail to see why it would be a problem. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/748245 Title: Kernel detects ST LIS3LV02DL Accelometer as Joystick -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
