My HP 8150w laptop has this neat lis3lv02d accelerometer to be able to detect when it's falling and to park the harddisk to prevent damage. I use this instrument to detect whether I'm on the road or at the office. This way, I can set preferences at boot-time, even before the network settings are loaded. I have added a few scripts to my initrd, which are not very interesting. But what is, is the driver required to do this. I created a file named /etc/dracut.conf.d/tilt.conf which contains: add_drivers="$add_drivers hp_accel lis3lv02d input_polldev" After creating a new initrd by running dracut, my scripts can see the x/y/z tilt of the machine by reading from /sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/position© GeekLabInfo
