[Gta04-owner] Second trial with QtMoko2

[Sven Dyroff]

Hello Nikolaus,

fine, but this will "only" correct the swapping. It will still not correct 
the calibration.

Whereat the comments of the affected source give a nice hint: "On my 
GTA04, sitting flat on the table, the raw Z acceleration value is about 
256, so we divide by 256 here."

So I suggest to add a further printf of the value of "accel -> z", in 
order that your code will provide you the needed calibration data that you 
can then use for "accel -> [xyz]scale" in case of having detected a 
GTA04A5.

Best regards
   Sven

something like that is what I already assumed. Would have wondered me if 
some scaling factors would have gone lost by just rebuilding QtMoko... 

I have now added a device version detection to swap the horizontal axis if 
we run on a GTA04A5:

http://git.goldelico.com/?p=gta04-qtmoko.git;a=commit;h=04c30a3b18be8b55148427d6c63423837f6a77cc

I have not yet published the new debian packages, but will do soon. So 
apt-get update will not
yet find anything new.

BR,
Nikolaus
