It's running Fedora 24, so the latest kernel at the time was probably
4.8.17. I see that a 4.9.5 kernel is available for F24 now, so I can
try that one if it would be helpful.

I didn't see any messages at all.
Also, on all the Acer laptops I checked, the accelerometer device gives
the "Operation not permitted" error. Should I split that into a new
