The problem is that Toshibas and others don't have the same
accelerometer as IBM.  Thus, the drivers (HDAPS) for the IBM accel. will
not work on the Toshiba systems.  On the windows side, IBM uses
"sensor.dll" as the driver; Toshiba uses thpevm.sys as the driver.  I
have no idea how to program and that severely limits my options for
reverse engineering.  I can, however, understand code enough to get by
and edit it to my needs (I've compiled stuff that wasn't able to
compiled w/o being edited.)  My purpose in this is to get the accel. to
work w/ the Compiz cube - imagine how cool it would be to jar the laptop
and the cube spin to the next desktop!  I have had no luck finding the
source or some one w/ the source.  I have "disassembled" most of the
files used in Toshiba's "HDD Protection" system w/ LDasm, but, again, I
don't program so I do not understand assembly.
