I'm not sure but reading your code I found in accelneo.c the following snippet:

unsigned short int rel = *(unsigned short int *)(report + 8);
                /*
                 * Neo sends three reports on X, Y, and Z with rel = 2
                 * and another one (as a separator) with rel = 0
                 */
                if (rel == 2)
                {
                        unsigned short int axis_ind = *(short int
*)(report + 10);
                        /* receives signed acceleration in milli-G */
                        int val_mg = *(int *)(report + 12);
                        /* convert acceleration to G */
                        float val_g = (float)val_mg / 1000.0;

                        /* save to accel on the axis */
                        accel.val[axis_ind] = val_g;
                }


and according to
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Accelerometer_data_retrieval old apps
should be patched to work with absolute accelerometers values.

Thanks, we'll wait for you :))
Unless I misunderstood the problem may you write and commit a little
patch to handle rel=3 events too?
