Yes, now you say it I recall reading about it. I actually meant: could it be that it is installed at an incorrect angle, i.e. not perpendicular or paralell to the case, but slanted.

I found it after searching for accelerometer-dump, but (the FR) didn't have gcc installed and don't know yet which packages to install to make it useful. At least a reason now to dive into figuring that out :-)

Any idea what to do about the diversion? I bought that FR second hand, and it has had this "feature" ever since I got it.
