I am having some trouble using games that use joysticks because my laptop has an accelerometer (I don't have the slightest idea why this might be useful on a laptop), and it's interfeering with joysticks. Linux finds it in /dev/input/js0
I would like to know how to disable/enable this so games or other things don't detect it.
Thank you very much.
This is the information in /proc/bus/input/devices

A better solution is to unload hp_accel module:
sudo modprobe -r hp_accelIf you don't want your system to load the module at every boot, simply blacklist it adding the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:
blacklist hp_accel
