Public bug reported: I'm testing on a HP Elitebook 8440p. I used the tool from the kernel sources (2.6.34) - hpfall.c When imitating free fall the tool remained blocked waiting for /dev/freefall and no free fall was registered. So it looks like a kernel module issue. Here is the output from ls -lR /sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/:
