You just open /dev/input/event2 (top accel) and/or 3 (bottom).  Have a
look in <cross path>/usr/include/linux/input.h -- basically these guys
turn up in there 300 a second:

struct input_event {
	struct timeval time;
	__u16 type;    <==== type = 2
	__u16 code;    <==== code = 0=X, 1=Y, 2=Z
	__s32 value;   <==== signed mG force in 18mG steps
};
