Did this before restart - response was

lis302dl 6784 0

Not sure what that means, although maybe it means the driver exists? What does 6784 0 mean?

from x-teminal (you might need to be root) This might show startup messages to do with that driver.
Did this after restart. Got no message at all (not even an error message) - just went straight to the next line where i can enter another command.

and visually inspect to see if you can see any messages related to the lis302dl driver (that's the name of the accelerometer chip I think)
Did this, went through the massive list of message about all sorts of components and drivers and their status but no mention of the lis302dl driver.


Does this mean my phone doesn't have the driver for the accelerometer? If yes, how do I get it?
