mention that the event device actually works if /dev/accel_ctrl gets setup correctly before.

 Notes:
- * kernel and userspace drivers get initialized, /dev/shm/sensors will be created by the userspace library
- * but we receive no events from the kernel /dev/inputX device, there is a /dev/accel_ctrl device, maybe we have to inizialize the device via an ioctl()
- * archos has a userspace application that initializes the device with calibration data (/usr/bin/create_accl), even with that I was not able to get it working.
+ * kernel driver gets initialized, the userspace driver creates /dev/shm/sensors 
+ * We receive no events from the kernel /dev/input/event3 device, if we dont setup /dev/accel_ctrl via ioctls device
+ * the original driver from archos seems to be incompatible when using with froyo.
 
 Questions:
  * when building froyo, do we have to specify that we actually HAVE an accelerometer somewhere?
- * is sensors.archos.so compatible with froyo? (at least lights.archos.so is)
+ * if so, is sensors.archos.so really incompatible with froyo?
