Having fun with IBM ACPI

It's always cool to play with ibm-acpi.

as root

modprobe hdaps

then

yum install neverball

And run the game. Move your laptop in the air to make the ball move... Sooo cool

Also, smack the screen to switch destops,

run the following script in python

smack.py

#!python

import sys, re, time

if delta < 0:

then hit your screen from the side... see how your desktop change...
