|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The

The sensors currently exposed via the
|
|
.Xr envsys 4
|
|
interface are:
|

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver first appeared in
|
|
.Ox 3.8
|
|
and was then ported to
|
|
.Nx
|
|
5.0.
|
|
.Sh AUTHORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver was written by
|

|
|
.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
Few issues can be mentioned.
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver does not maintain state and subsequently does not take
|
|
evasive action when it thinks the hard drive is in danger.
|
|
Possible actions would include spinning down the hard drive
|
|
in case excessive tremor is detected by the sensors.
|
|
.It
|
|
The Y axis on X40 and possibly other models seems to be inverted.
|
|
It is unknown how to distinguish between different versions of the
|
|
accelerometer to compensate for this in the driver at this time.
|
|
.It
|
|
The sensor values are refreshed every 0.5 seconds.
|
|
Because no protection measures are taken,
|
|
this is unnecessary and may have a negative effect on battery life.
|
|
.It
|
|
As IBM provides no documentation, it is not known what all the available
|
|
sensors are used for.
