I found that I could not use the compass when the gta04 board is 
installed in a case with speakers, but it worked well outside of the 
case.  There seem to be some other sysfs files for the compass that 
could possibly apply a bias to counteract the speakers.  When I wrote 
anything to those files, I got a kernel error.  It could be an issue in 
the module.
