Glad to hear it's working, I guess the restart did the trick.

The lsmod output means the driver called lis302dl is loaded, taking up 6784 bytes of ram, and used by no other drivers.

The dmesg thing - I was just guessing you might see some signon by the driver. My own N900 has been up too long to check how it signs on. Usually, the driver name would appear when it loads or if there are problems (which I thought you might see, TBH )

I guess something upset it and the driver conked out, which was fixed by your rebooting. The special files I refered to in my other post should be there now, I expect?
