Somebody in the thread at some point said:
| Hi all,
|
| i play with the new Freerunner GTA02 and mentioned the problems with
| reading both accelerometers. With the /dev/input/event2/3.
| I search the mailing list and found reports of that problem but no
| solution. Do i have to activate the second accelerometer or is there a
| way to read both accelerometers.
| I plan to control a rc-car with the Freerunner. For the first tries one
| accelerometer is enough. But sometimes the event2 works and sometimes
| event3 (I observed the same behaviour discussed earlier the both
| accelerometer switch after each reboot). The second accelerometer is
| twisted 45° so it does matter which accelerometer is used.

Make sure you have really current kernel, there is a fix in the stable
branch for erratic operation the last days.
