Initial proof-of-concept package uploaded. It seems to set up the driver correctly and was tested to work with PrBoom (you need to enable the joystick in the PrBoom menu.)

The way it works right now is through a toggle, implemented as a startup script and a file called ~/accelemymote/live-trigger, that gets the daemon running. It will continue to run, consuming about 0.8% CPU cycles, until you restart or delete the trigger file.

You can delete the trigger file by clicking the app icon again. If in doubt whether it is running, you can run top and see if the process shows up.

It's probably more sensible to run it from the command line for now:
/opt/maemo/usr/bin/accelemymote.sh

Let me know if it works for you. There is a lot left to do before it's ready for mainstream, but i want to be sure the module and driver installation is working.

Edit: i tried it with uqm and it's way too spammy with events to work well there right now.
