I took the liberty to publish my changes over at
http://git.oblomov.eu/linux-2.6/oblomov : the topmost commits of this
branch are (1) Pavel's no-init, (2) my one- and two-byte sensors
support (3) an attempt at supporting both intel and amd hpdv5.
Palatis, can you wget

http://git.oblomov.eu/linux-2.6/patches/1db8508cf483dc1ecf66141f90a7c03659d69512..oblomov

git am it, remake the hp_accel and lis3lv02d modules, and see if you
get proper directions for your laptop? If not, can you post your
dmidecode and the results of testing axis orientation without the last
patch?
