As soon as it's seen some testing, I'll be showing the work I did for
GNOME support for automatic rotation based on orientation.

And how you handle these events through X ?

As I mentioned to Alberto, and following on from the upstream push to
udev, the only thing the code does is look for uevents coming from
ID_INPUT_ACCELEROMETER=1 devices, and read the value of
ID_INPUT_ACCELEROMETER_ORIENTATION.

Certainly much easier than my previous attempts at using X to read the
values from a floating device.
