The script assumes accelerometers only, so it fails when it detects just one accelerometer, while my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro seems to use gyroscope instead of second accelerometer.

dos@yoga:~/git/linux_detect_tablet_mode$ cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device*/name
accel_3d
incli_3d
als
gyro_3d
magn_3d
dev_rotation

Actually, I have played a bit more with it and seems like all of this comes from the screen :( While there is some sensor on the keyboard side for sure, it doesn't seem to be reachable from Linux yet.
