The problem is that it's not an accelerometer, it only has 2 axis.
<span class="quote">> With the tag INPUT_PROP_ACCELEROMETER, a recent systemd version (>219, the

It shouldn't though.

That would be iio-sensor-proxy opening it (once) and letting go of it until it
receives a kevent saying it's changed coarse orientation (which we'll never
receive because the driver doesn't send it).
I think that libinput should just ignore it. Is there a udev tag for that?</pre>
