Yeah, that's a typo. My bad. However, when I try to edit the uevent file with nano (I use it instead of Leafpad), it couldn't save it! Any idea why? I'll try again after a(nother) rootfs reflash.

No, you can't save it. It is not a real file. Sorry about the confusion.
See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_file
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procfs
To put it simply, the OS creates those special files and returns some status info when you try to read them. There is nothing to write to them (except in some cases, but let's not complicate things for now). So what you read is what the OS provides. If the OS does not provide the DRIVER line then the OS does not have a driver associated. Hence my advice to flash the root.

Thanks for the help, however, what is the image.bin file?

Thanks a lot! The cold reflash did it! Also, it solved my camera issue as well, which gave "Operation failed" on pulling open the lens cover. Now both the camera and the accelerometer work!

Cold flashing is supposed to only restore the boot loader when it goes belly up.

My first idea would be to reflash the rootfs. You say in the first post that you've reflashed the eMMC. Have you also reflashed the rootfs? If not then I'd give it a shot. Otherwise it really looks like a hardware issue.
I have no idea about service centres in New Delhi. Neither do I have any idea how difficult it is to replace the accelerometer. I would not be surprised if it required replacing the whole motherboard in which case buying a new used N900 (perhaps one for spares, with a broken screen but a working mobo) might be a cheaper option.
